Afternoon all, Just sharing a little exercise that I came across a couple of years to prompt people to think about their unconscious bias. You start with a FOLDED version of the attached document (so that only the name/initial part is visible), then you ask them to: 1. *Write down 10 people you really trust that are not family.* 2. *ONLY then unfold the paper and mark each of the trusted 10 against each area in whatever way you see fit.* 3. *You don’t have to share anything specific if you don’t want to, but let’s chat for a couple of minutes about what we’ve learned about whom we have an affinity with and why.* It really got people here talking and considering their unconscious bias, as well as the voices they're missing in their own lives. Hope this is useful to someone :) Ceri xx -- *Ceri Jenkins (BSc, MSc)* *Equality Projects Officer**Bath Spa University* *My preferred pronouns are: She / Her* T: +44 (0)1225 876074 E: [log in to unmask] W: Public Profile Page <https://www.bathspa.ac.uk/our-people/cerian-jenkins/> Tw: @BathSpaEquality <https://twitter.com/BathSpaEquality> <[log in to unmask]> <[log in to unmask]> For general HR enquiries: +44 (0)1225 876338 <+44%201225%20876338> or [log in to unmask] Visit www.bathspa.ac.uk Join us on: Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/bath.spa.university> | Twitter <https://twitter.com/BathSpaUni> | YouTube <https://www.youtube.com/user/BathSpaUniversity> | LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/company/bath-spa-university> | Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/bathspauni/?hl=en> *Think before you print* *Disclaimer* If you have received this message in error, please notify us and remove it from your system.
