March Inclusivity Project: ACT?
Act. Create. Think (ACT)
is a series of interactive, discussion-based activities designed to promote inclusivity, self-awareness, and bias recognition.
Through role-playing, movement base activities, and guided conversations, participants of all ages are invited to reflect on their lived experiences and explore how bias, stereotypes, and systems of equality show up in everyday life.
