The National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI) Greenville Technical College Campus Affiliate offers annual training leadership workshops that help create a more inclusive campus environment and provides interprofessional and intercultural experiences for students, staff and faculty.
The Workshop consists of a series of incremental activities that helps participants to:
- celebrate their similarities and differences,
- recognize the misinformation they have learned about various groups, including their own,
- learn about and reevaluate personal attitudes and behaviors that are based on the impact of prejudice and discrimination,
- claim pride in their group identities,
- understand the personal impact of discrimination through the telling of stories, and
- learn hands-on tools for dealing effectively with offensive remarks and behaviors.
Participants interested in becoming Welcoming Diversity Workshop leaders may subsequently choose to enroll in a Welcoming Diversity Train-the-Trainer.
The Welcoming Diversity Workshop has been adapted to meet the needs of specific communities, including high schools and corporations.
