Facilitated GRID Conversations
on Difficult Topics
GRID (Getting Real on Inclusion and Diversity) Conversation sessions are safe spaces to define and wrestle with tough topics, clearing the way to support lasting change.
These facilitated discussions allow us to tell our stories; share our lived experiences; uncover the reality of exclusion; put a human face on “isms” (e.g. sexism or racism) and “phobias (e.g. xenophobia or homophobia); and, put ourselves into the diversity picture without minimizing other people’s experiences.
Before a workshop, a Conversation can diffuse tensions, lay the groundwork to maximize learning, and identify places for deeper engagement. After a workshop it can be the start of “Now what?” And on its own, it can be a place to just explore a topic people are curious about.
