Ways to Use Diversity Beans

We hope this goes without saying, but Diversity Beans are not a substitute for diversity training. Diversity Beans are an addition to training, a reminder, a takeaway, an activity in your training. Remember, inclusive community building is a process not an event. We welcome the opportunity to be a part of your process.  

GREAT ways to use Diversity Beans:

A reminder to hit pause and analyze expectations when meeting someone new

An invitation to learn life experiences and perspectives different from your own

A tangible way to experience bias based on perception

An expression of personal commitment to value differences

A lesson in prejudice, stereotypes, and assumptions, proving looks can be deceiving

A tool (and community of resources) to help build diverse, equitable, and inclusive spaces

A catalyst for discussions on systemic racism, white supremacy, allyship, accomplices, and co-conspirators

A sweet way (pun intended) to talk about bias, prejudice, and stereotypes with friends, kids, and family

A branded promotional giveaway for job fairs and corporate sponsored events

A fun icebreaker activity at your next meeting (or in the classroom)

A memorable takeaway for corporate diversity training

A desktop reminder that your company values diversity and inclusion

An exercise for leadership training and professional development

A gift for new hires during orientation and onboarding

An inclusive holiday gift for employees, corporate partners, or students

A sensitivity activity for teacher training workshops

An anti-bullying campaign lesson or conference takeaway

A unique party favor or handout at speaking engagements, seminars, or family dinners
