Diversity, equity and inclusion

Our training on diversity and inclusion, available for VR, PC and mobile, cover a range of sensitive topics such as gender inclusion, race equity, and inclusion in the workplace. Each of these modules has been designed to help learners in educational or workplace settings to reflect on these subjects and to do their part in creating a more inclusive world.

We believe that, by increasing diversity and inclusion awareness through the safe space of VR, we can make a positive impact on society as a whole – our courses inspire learners to have open and honest conversations about diversity and inclusion.

VR is the perfect platform for inclusion and diversity training because learners can immerse themselves in simulated situations, explore different perspectives and practise empathy in a judgement-free environment. Our goal is to help you create a more inclusive culture in your organisation, where everyone feels valued and respected.

Let’s Talk About Race

Honest conversations about race are long overdue. Recent incidents worldwide have pushed the need for equity and inclusion to the forefront.

With this in mind, we’ve created Let’s Talk About Race, which is the product of an in-depth collaboration between Bodyswaps and a team of subject matter experts from George Brown College in Canada.

The series takes learners on a reflective journey through a collection of experiences that examine the impact that privilege, bias and microaggressions have on all of us.
