This microlearning course is an introduction to using the correct terminology when entering conversations around equity, equality, allyship, activism and justice. It explores the nuances of difference between "equality" and "equity," how "diversity" is different from "intersectionality," and the differences between "ally," "advocate" and "activist" with several interactive exercises and life-like scenarios to practice language usage and identify one's own level of comfort with institutionalized racism principles and concepts.

Accessibility Program: Storyline

Challenging the assumption that accessibility is for "other people," Blursday is designed for HRMs and C-Suite leaders to consider that instead of focusing on the smaller percentage of stereotypically visible and invisible disabilities, accommodations are actually used by the majority of their workforce.

Reframing glasses and contacts as socially-accepted accommodations for visual impairment, learners gain a new perspective, empathy and understanding after experiencing task and time management challenges when the character, Alex, breaks their glasses at work. 

The post-discussion involves small breakout groups to proactively create measurable action plans and implementation schedules aimed at increasing accessibility in the workplace by 25%, quarterly.
