A shorter version of Jane Elliott's life and her work combating prejudice. Includes debriefing session.

She encourages the mixed group to compare their personal experiences of discrimination to appreciate that white people and people of colour, and other minority groups, inhabit two separate worlds.

Trainer’s version 60 minutes followed by 36 minute debriefing.
