Join the Inclusion Conversation Challenge!
Collect all the cards! Win a prize! Help your Division win a prize!
How it works:
Each month a set of short inclusion videos will be released. There will be an announcement on TABL, but you can always check this website for access to the current and all previous rounds of videos. Accompanying each set of videos is a short quiz. If you watch the videos you’ll be able to answer the quiz. Most videos are only 2-4 minutes long.
Collect all the cards!
Each round in which you correctly answer the quiz you’ll receive a round card. You get a point for each card you collect, plus 5 bonus points if you were within the first 10 people to correctly answer each question in that round.
Post your card next to your name tag outside your office or cubicle!
