Lee-Ann Du Plooy and Melanie Rooks facilitated a “Crossing the line” session which was all about reflection, identity awareness and breaking stereotypes.

Everyone stood in a line while Lee-Ann and Melanie took turns to pose questions to the group. If the question applied to them or they could relate to what was said, they could take a step forward. If not, they had to stay in position.

“The aim of this activity is to help you learn about yourself and reflect on your self- and cultural identity. This will allow you to appreciate the diversity and learn to treat your fellow participants like the diverse human beings that we are.”
