This session explores the complexities of social identity and how it shapes our experiences, interactions, and perspectives. Participants will engage in reflective activities to better understand their own social identities, recognize the identities of others, and examine how bias and group dynamics influence belonging. Participants will leave with practical strategies to foster inclusion, build empathy, and strengthen connections within the workplace and beyond.
