This activity may be difficult for many participants; only skilled facilitators should use. 

Please note that this activity has the potential to bring up traumatic experiences for some participants. It is important to understand and check in with your participants before facilitating this activity and do not use the activity if it will not teach and only further cause or bring up negative experiences for participants. The activity was originally developed to help domestic students understand hurtful microaggressions that many international students experience, so consider only facilitating the activity with a group of domestic students.
