This session introduces participants to ideas regarding diversity and its benefits.  Participants explore ways to begin to recognize differences that are not always apparent on the surface.

This interactive and experiential training begins to explore skills that go beyond recognition of cultural differences to how best to adapt to or address these differences that diverse groups experience.
