Line up team in two rows facing each other. Introduce the [[Helium Stick]] - a long, thin, light rod. Ask participants to point their index fingers and hold their arms out straight. Lay the Helium Stick down on their fingers. Before you let go, get the group to adjust their finger heights until the Helium Stick is horizontal and everyone's index fingers are touching the stick. Explain that the challenge is to lower the Helium Stick to the ground. The catch: each person's fingers must be in contact with the Helium Stick at all times. Pinching or grabbing the stick in not allowed - it must rest on top of fingers. If at any point one of the group member's finger looses contact with the Helium Stick, the group must start over. Let the task begin.... [[Helium Stick| Helium Stick Full Instructions]]

Even if your group consists of members who all share the same race, religion, nation of origin or gender identity, there are many other ways that individuals can be different. We tend to make assumptions based on height, clothing style, mannerisms, etc. So, it is valuable for team members to get to know each other as individuals, and also to be aware of stereotyping in all interactions in life. How do you break down stereotypes and foster inclusion and equity within your team?

Breaking Down Stereotypes

Even if your group consists of members who all share the same race, religion, nation of origin or gender identity, there are many other ways that individuals can be different. We tend to make assumptions based on height, clothing style, mannerisms, etc. So, it is valuable for team members to get to know each other as individuals, and also to be aware of stereotyping in all interactions in life. How do you break down stereotypes and foster inclusion and equity within your team? Activities include: Celebrity/Stereotype Party, Diversity Bingo, Students with Disabilities, Who I Am - by Lineage, and Your Stories.
