An attempt to begin more conversations

Its idealistic to think this level of advocacy, competence and empathy exists in all organizations, and locations, however, its a nice model to at least address the racial trauma so many of use bear day in and day out. And perhaps, it causes someone's perspective to be a little more inclusive or to be interested in other's experiences.

I appreciated the lesson on always stopping to listen and the utilization of real scenarios from our institution. I would appreciate more opportunities to practice bystander training in person. I also think it's important to recognize that racism operates in ways that go well beyond interpersonal dynamics/microaggressions and requires structural change and ongoing institutional commitment.

Scenario based learning is more effective and easier to relate to than reading long paragraphs. We are a visual society so watching and listening to the presented scenarios was very impactful. I agree with the need to practice interactions and responses to different situations in order to become more comfortable addressing these issues in real life.

I agree with Linda. The scenarios were very helpful and I liked that you were able to "play-out" different situations. Since they were real life scenarios it was interesting to select one of the options that you see in the work place more frequently and good you are able to go back and see how a different approach could be more effective.
