WHAT ARE ONLINE WORKSHOPS
Smith Assembly's 2-4 hour online workshops are emceed by you, but virtually-facilitated by us. We provide everything you need for a meaningful team building and jedi training experience including a Pre-Event Guide & Resources for Your Emcee, the Workshop Curriculum & Media, and Post-Event Bonus Materials for Your Team. On the day of the event, simply host a zoom call and screen share our materials.
Each online workshop features two innovators from another region of the world, showcases stories about their lives and communities, includes icebreakers and hands-on activities they co-designed, and presents their experiences and thoughts on the topic of JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion).

HOW WE DO IT
Make Your Team Culture Healthier & More Inclusive
Nurturing Your Openness
Changing attitudes and behaviors requires freedom from judgement. Our workshops create a neutral and safe space where you and your team will feel comfortable being exposed to new concepts, experimenting with different techniques, and asking questions. When your team uses your hands during our meaningful activities, and shares that experience with each other, your minds and hearts will open further to new perspectives and ideas.
Building Your Compassion
Demystifying others has been shown to increase inclusion and belonging. During our workshops, your team will be introduced to two up and coming global innovators and hear stories about how they are driving sustainable development. When you and your team members see the unique brilliance of the innovators and your colleagues in action, your compassion will build as well as your sense of inspiration.
Expanding Your Approach
Innovation is an iterative process and thrives when it's inclusive. Our diverse staff and global lens give you and your team an opportunity to casually observe and practice a variety of cross-cultural communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and product design techniques. You’ll see how we all sometimes make mistakes, then learn ways to acknowledge and overcome them. As you and your colleagues think more expansively, you’ll be better prepared for whatever comes your way.
OUR PROCESS
You Emcee, We Virtually-Facilitate
1.Pre-Event
We provide everything you need to emcee a unique cross-cultural experience with your team. Our Emcee Guide includes pre-event instructions and checklists, so you can easily schedule a video conference call with your team during which you’ll screen share our materials.
2.Online Workshop
During your online workshop, we virtually-facilitate an icebreaker and series of fun activities via pre-recorded videos so your team engages on a deeper level. Your team members make something cool while observing and practicing a variety of more emotionally-intelligent and inclusive techniques.
3.Post-Event
We ensure you get the most value from your experience by helping your team integrate what they learned into your workplace. After your workshop, we’ll survey your team and provide you with a package of post-event bonus materials.
