The American Dream Experience is not an ordinary training, but rather an interactive empathy-building exercise. Designed to foster awareness and connection, participants get the opportunity to participate in this "perspective-taking" exercise and explore how everyday interactions and long-term opportunities impact people differently.
Learning Outcomes:
1) Raise awareness about how people experience life differently based on society's perception of their identities.
2) Identify areas that you may not be aware of that could be contributing to an environment that isn't inclusive to others.
3) Begin the process of interrupting patterns of bias and stereotypes.
4) Create empathy for how it feels to be marginalized.
The session will be held in Classroom D113. You will enter via Entrance 2 and park in Parking Lot D. Lunch will be provided. RSVP is required.
