<li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; ">Discuss everyones experiences with this previous training session: what did they learn, what can be improved, likes/dislikes etc?</li><ul><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; ">
Likes: Was fun and the facilitators were nice.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; ">Dislikes: Lack of advance educating moments, felt the activities were really helpful in advancing our understanding of diversity. </li>
<ul><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><u>Learning Moment</u>: One learning moment that many of us got from the Diversity Training was not to assume that one individual will have more knowledge on a specific subject, simply because of their race, gender, ethnicity, religion etc. In other words one person cant speak for an entire group of people who may share the same cultural or racial traits, so don't assume. </li>
<ul style="font-size: 13px; "><li><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2">And when you feel you are put in the position when someone asks you to speak on something that you don't have much knowledge on, just honestly say that you can only speak for yourself and that you cant really speak for anyone else. And feel free to open the discussion to the group around you to see if someone may actually be more </font>knowledgeable<font class="Apple-style-span" size="2"> on that topic. </font></li>
