52 Activities for Exploring Values Differences is an entire manual of activities devoted to understanding differences in basic values and beliefs. The authors have written and adapted sound, ready-to-use activities for settings where the exploration of value differences would be beneficial: the workplace, the classroom, human resources programs, ESL classes, corporate diversity training, international team development workshops, conflict management and others.
The directions for the activities are easy to follow, and the worksheets can be photocopied and used without special permission. There is something for everyone in this book: those who like hands-on, practical activities; those who prefer experiential exercises; and those who learn best if they can reflect on ideas. The activities in the book vary according to level of risk, time required, context and group (individual, team, organization, U.S. diversity or international).
