Integrating Cherine and Arthur’s 10 years of international experience as peace workers and social justice trainers, Diversity Matters Now! is a dynamic workshop designed to address diversity issues and enhance leadership qualities in all students. Through a series of lecturettes and activities that promote deep introspection, personal story sharing, and community building, Cherine and Arthur work with students to explore diversity and develop a collective sense of purpose. Together, participants learn about practical strategies to realize their goals on and off campus, especially as they relate to engaging with diversity, culture and power. Students leave the workshop armed with deeper empathy, a new lens on diversity and an increased capacity to build connections and community across lines of difference. |

**Diversity Matters Now! requires a minimum of 2 hours; optimal duration is 3 to 3.5 hours. We are committed to working with each client to identify and address the themes most pertinent to your community. One month prior to the scheduled program, the Diversity Matters Team would like to schedule a phone consultation to explore what would best serve your students and to offer coaching on strategies to maximize campus and community participation. Testimonials: "Hosting Arthur and Cherine on Stetson’s campus was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Diversity Matters Now has had a tremendous impact on not only the students and staff who attended, but also on our continuing efforts to empower students to interrupt oppression. Their warm and interactive style engages participants and creates a level of trust to allow even the most skeptical to open their hearts and minds. The experience has personally affected our work in many ways. The exercise “If you really knew me…” reminded us of the importance of listening first. There is always a reason for behavior, and if we look deep enough into the other person’s story, negative behaviors might be transformed through significant relationships. Arthur and Cherine continue to coach and mentor us as we move forward with our action plan which was established during the workshop. Students were given the chance to dream of the world they someday hope to see and we are making those dreams a reality one step at a time." --Jessica Price, Assistant Director of the Cross Cultural Center and Diversity Programs and Rina Tovar , Vice President of Campus Life -
