15. Valuing Differences…
Creating Unity
We have all four colors
It is the blend of these colors that makes us
special and unique.
By seeing Primary Colors brightened in
others, we can see these paler colors in
ourselves.
It is because of our differences that we need
each other and value each other’s POV.
16. Valuing Differences…
Creating Unity
GOAL:
To bring a level of appreciating differences.
PROCESS:
Separate into your assigned group. Select a leader to record your
comments and ideas.
In groups develop your ideal small group experience for the
weekend that would bring out the best in all colors.
As you work together consider how you are interacting (i.e. the
means), not just the ends (i.e. the results).
Each person has a sticker that identifies a need, think about how
you can stretch yourself to include this need in the process.
