The City of Green’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee will be hosting their meeting as part of the Green Schools Foundation Celebration of Education. The meeting will be taking place on Saturday, February 25 at 10 a.m. at Green High School*, 1747 Boettler Road, in the auxiliary gym. All are Welcome to attend.

During the meeting, facilitators will be conducting a Privilege Walk followed by an open discussion with those in attendance. A Privilege Walk is an exercise commonly used in diversity training. In a Privilege Walk, participants will line up and move forward or back as a facilitator asks questions or makes statements about aspects of identity and experience. The movements of those in the line reveal subtle differences, making them visual and life-size. A Privilege Walk is an exercise that has the objectives to raise awareness of various forms of privilege, understand the intersectionality of race, socioeconomic class, gender and other demographic variables that shape individuals, appreciate the diversity of individual backgrounds, and team building.
