   I can recommend some good book titles (as background content). I had to create a course that dealt with this arena and during my research managed to get a free video resource, happy to advise source/names of books if you email me.
   All the best

   These are examples of a team building activities designed to get others to embrace diversity. They can be done one-on-one or in small groups (3 or 4 employees), depending on the circumstances and the rapport that you have with your employees.

   1. Discuss how diversity enhances team performance. Explain some diversity principles or issues that you feel strongly about.
   2. Have the employees discuss three or four diversity principles or issues that they value dearly. This helps to internalize the belief that they are “good” persons, which makes them more receptive to change.
   3. Discuss one or two diversity issues that you had trouble upholding or believing in. Explain what made you change your beliefs.
   4. Have the employees discuss one or two diversity issues that they have had trouble upholding or believing in. Have them confront this behavior by asking why we believe in certain concepts when they might clash with our core values and principles.
