Faith CoLab: Tapestry of Faith: Building the World We Dream About: An Anti-racism Multicultural Program

Activity 2: Debriefing the Simulation

Activity time: 30 minutes

Description of Activity

Lead the large group in a discussion to debrief the simulation with these questions:

  • How would you evaluate the simulation?
  • Was the simulation realistic for our congregation? Why or why not?
  • Which of our practices promoted antiracist/multicultural strategies?
  • How did your emotions and personal experiences drive your behavior?
  • What did you anticipate happening that did not occur?
  • What happened that surprised you?
  • What about this scenario could actually happen at our congregation? Not happen?
  • Where/how did we use our antiracist/multicultural skills?
  • What have we learned through this simulation that will help us work together in our congregation?

Encourage participants to hold on to their own learnings and write or journal about them before the next workshop.
