52 Activities for Exploring Values Differences

by Donna Stringer

Stimulate lively discussions with activities for a variety of situations

In 52 Activities for Exploring Values Differences , Donna Stringer and Patricia Cassiday have written and adapted sound, ready-to-use activities for settings where the exploration of values differences is the workplace, the classroom, corporate diversity training, international team development workshops, conflict management and others.

The activities cover a broad spectrum for the varied needs of trainers and those who like hands-on, practical but low-risk activities; those who prefer experimental activities; and those who learn best if they can reflect on ideas. The authors' "Classification of Activities" at the front of the book helps users choose activities that are appropriate for their needs according to risk level, time required, context (work, personal or general) and group (individual, team, organization, domestic diversity or multinational). The directions for the activities are easy to follow, and the worksheets and handouts can be photocopied for use.

Tons of great activity ideas for working through culture and values differences with a team. Many are adaptable and will be a great resource to engaging with this topic on a multi-ethnic team! The book is a bit dated (references to overhead projectors) but much of the content is timeless. It’s worth considering what current issues may not be well-represented and find ways to add it in.
