Over the past year, women worldwide came forward about being victims of sexual harassment through the #MeToo movement. But often the stories covered in the media seem removed from our daily lives. We’ll explore changes we can make in our daily lives - because it all starts with us.  We’ll discuss everyday bias and gaps in treatment before brainstorming changes that make a difference, get noticed, and influence others. Join us for an interactive workshop where will actively discuss what we can do to challenge gender stereotypes and bias here and now. This workshop is for anyone from any background and is not limited to either men or women. See the Diversity Dojo Facebook page for updates: www.facebook.com/DiversityDojo.
