What is your why? Trying to create a safer space to foster open dialogue? Creating more PD learning opportunities? A combination of both? Get clear on where your org is at is the strongest way to approach this type of #Thoughtexchange. #DEI#BringPeopleTogether
Accountability -Show that you want to inform action! Tangible, measurable progress. @KarenCraggs - Recognize there are multiple layers to these conversations, layers like a Russian doll.
It's okay to expect non-closure at the end of one exchange. You can't expect to have all the answers right away but you can build upon the conversations in future exchanges. #BringPeopleTogether#TeVirtualEvents#TeMasterClass
Get your community/organization excited about the upcoming #Thoughtexchange as early as possible. Who on your team is supporting? With reach outs & moderation? Plan this in advance. Do you have student group that you could partner with to get more #studentvoice in your exchange?
@KarenCraggs - You don’t need to be a #DEI expert to start the conversation 💜 This is a collective exercise. You will see solutions & ideas coming from your conversation. You can learn how to generate the right questions to support these conversations. #TeVE#TeVirtualEvents
SNEAK PEEK at our Exchange Gallery (BETA). Yes, we are updating these templates & questions often and can support so many different kinds of #DEI conversations. #BringPeopleTogether
Multi language is an option to be more inclusive. The simplest thing to do - turn the toggle on so that participants can use ANY language that is supported by Google Translate. They will read and share thoughts in their preferred language. #BringPeopleTogether#TeMasterClass#DEI
Moderation - Ask yourself how much transparency can you bring to the exchange? People do not want to feel censored. Moderation might be required, but stay on top of adding thoughts back into the conversation once reviewed. Building trust in the exchange is very important. #TeVE
Running our Q&A Exchange now. Do you have any questions about how to run a #DEI exchange? Stay tuned for the replay and tweet at us if you think of something 🤔 #TeMasterClass#HowTo#TeVirtualEvents
Top Thought. @EquitySupt1 - Address this up front, possibly in your intro. Give people the option to decline if they think there could be triggers. @KarenCraggs - Let participants know who to reach out to & where to reach out afterward if there are triggers that come up💜
