About Lesson
Learners should be aware of potential pitfall when introducing creative exercises for the first time, you are encouraged at the early stages to engage fully within the activity, and avoid:
- Stereotyping: Be aware to avoid reinforcing stereotypes or be cultural biased, ensure that the activity/exercise does not perpetuate harmful assumptions, etc. (Keep it simple and try to stick with a single topic – keep the exercise clear and concise).
- Tokenism: Avoid treating the activities as a tick box exercise, try to fully integrate them fully into the workplace culture, or if a learning institute within the curriculum (Token gestures can lead to further isolation).
- Prioritise certain information (Highlight important information – Central Topics can most important).
- Cultural Appropriation: Always respect cultural boundaries, avoid assumptions around other cultures without fully understanding and always be sensitive to cultural significance.
- Missing Cultural detail (Using cultural keywords can trigger further information and detail).
- Use Digital software (This can enhance paper and pen with highting and simplify editing).
- Define the purpose (why are you doing this, a project, a problem, enhancing procedures, integration, etc.).
