In this interactive session, participants will explore how to integrate play-based strategies into their Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) initiatives within camp settings. Play is a powerful tool for fostering connection, empathy, and understanding, particularly in diverse environments. Through hands-on activities and reflective discussions, attendees will learn how to use games, role-playing, and other forms of creative engagement to facilitate conversations around identity, privilege, and systemic inequality.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have practical tools and strategies to create safer, more inclusive spaces at camp that encourage open dialogue and nurture a deeper commitment to DEIJ values. Whether you're new to DEIJ work or looking to expand your toolkit, this session will provide fresh, innovative ways to engage campers and staff in meaningful change-making.
