The clubs bring together members from different ethnic groups with the aim of challenging prejudice and discrimination. This encourages interactions between all kinds of students during club meetings and activities. During meetings, students engage in discussions and give views on the diversity issues affecting the school and the world at large. Students celebrating unique events that arise from the different backgrounds, such as Black History month, promote appreciation and understanding of other cultures. Involve the club committees in solving problems relating to issues of diversity.
Holding food or dinner festivals, where students sample cuisines from different cultures, helps in promoting diversity. Students can bring a staple food common in their country or geographical region that was prepared with parental assistance. Let every student make a concise presentation how the food is cooked and the reason for its popularity in her culture. Encouraging students to explain the cultural relevance of the food will encourage peers to sample food from other cultures with confidence.
Students may attend retreats organized by schools, with each program structured with activities and teachings that are suitable for the different age groups. These retreats may be held for three days, with the night session used in holding discussions, a variety of activities from different cultures, playing games and reflecting on diversity. The discussion may focus on self awareness; that is appreciating the differences and similarities among students from diverse groups.
The schools may sponsor students to attend conferences such as National Association of Independent Schools, Student Diversity Leadership Conference every year where they learn different perspectives of approaching diversity issues. During these conferences, students will get an opportunity to mingle with other peers from different schools in other states, providing an avenue for learning new dimensions on diversity. These students may take leadership roles in developing diversity activities within their schools from the insight learned in the conferences.
