Diversity, Inclusion & Empathy Training

Experience-based programmes

Experience-based programmes that develop inclusive perspectives, ethical awareness and empathy-based decision-making through immersive storytelling and simulations.

CHALLENGE
The access barriers different individuals face in everyday life remain abstract in traditional training.
APPROACH
We designed an empathy training that uses immersive storytelling and first-person simulations to let participants experience different personas and barriers.
RESULT
Participants develop inclusive perspective-taking and empathy-based decision-making skills through direct experience.
01 / FOCUS
01

Inclusive perspectives

Participants relive an everyday experience by seeing it through someone else's eyes.

02

Ethical awareness

The immersive narrative makes visible who a decision leaves out.

03

Empathy-based decision-making

The simulation turns awareness into a concrete design or policy decision.

HOW TO READ THE EXAMPLE ON THE LEFT?

Watch the same route through different people's eyes; the points that are a barrier for each one appear in red. Remove the barriers with the design decisions below and see how the route changes for everyone. The scenario is a representative example constructed to demonstrate the method.

NEXT STEP
Let's help your team see through different eyes.
