Yesterday I ran a session on diversity with a group of facilitators. My aim was to work with them around their understanding of diversity but also to highlight the power of facilitation to elicit diversity.

I described the session in this way:

Diversity beyond labels

Recently I ran a Diversity Inquiry ("DIV:INQ") workshop as part of Diversityworks Trust's How Diversity Works exhibition. We ran it at 5.30pm, in an art gallery, with food and wine. Over forty people came.

During the small group activities, the noise was almost deafening. People laughed and told their stories of similarities and difference. They explored ideas, agreeing enthusiastically and disagreeing generously. They contemplated and lamented.

They had some more food and wine.
