[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I really appreciate the feedback.  I e-mailed the other people who were voluntold... I mean, who volunteered to organize the day's activity and proposed that we hold training sessions on mentoring, on having difficult conversations, and on providing constructive feedback.  (We actually have online trainings for those topics that people can take on their own; it would be cool to work through those sessions in a group.)  For another part of the day, I compiled a list of online exhibits and other videos from area museums; maybe people can choose to "visit" an exhibit that provides information about a culture the employee is unfamiliar with, and then share what they learned in a small group session afterward.  We have our next planning meeting on Wednesday, so I'll continue to read here to see what other ideas I can steal.  Thank you ALL very much for your input.

On one hand, I'm excited that my organization is stepping up and putting diversity, equity, and inclusion front and center this year.  On the other, sadly, it's well-meaning goobers like me who are organizing the events, which clearly is not ideal.  But our hearts are in the right place (...around four inches deep of our breastbones).[/quote]

Actually, that sounds like a not terrible plan.  The first part will keep things focused on universal experiences that everyone can get better at and the second doesn't put anyone on the spot to talk about their own background or culture.  [/quote]

"Not terrible" is indeed the goal![/quote]

Lol.  "Not terrible" is about the best one can hope for, indeed![/quote]
