Learn About The Power of Inclusion Activities for Companies

With social emotional learning programs for students, we aim to promote mutual respect and tolerance at DHIFI. Don’t Hide It, Flaunt It (DHIFI) believes that accepting and celebrating the differences that make us unique is an extremely powerful act. Through a broad variety of programs and activities, mutual respect and tolerance for both seen and unseen differences are capable of being significantly advanced.

SEL Activities

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is at the center of what we do. Developing self-confidence, empathy, and healthy relationship skills for young people is what our programs are all about. We offer an array of SEL activities tailored to foster an inclusive environment in communities, schools, and corporate settings. To foster a culture of empathy and acceptance, students are motivated to understand and appreciate the qualities that make themselves and others special with activities like these. Contact DHIFI today to find out more about a social emotional learning curriculum for educators.

Get To Know You Activities For Families

These activities produce chances for students to share their personal stories and find out about the experiences of their peers, which is essential for building an inclusive and supportive learning environment. Through these interactions, students are capable of gaining a better comprehension of inclusion and create stronger bonds with each other.

Social Emotional Learning Programs School Assemblies

Through engaging school assemblies, Don’t Hide It, Flaunt It brings to life social-emotional learning programs by igniting emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and meaningful connection. Each assembly, whether rooted in bullying prevention, disability support, or belonging, encourages students to recognize both their personal identity and the individuality in others. By combining personal narrative, participatory dialogue, and thought-provoking activities, we inspire students to recognize their own uniqueness and those of others. They do more than teaching by sparking real student-led change and fostering sustained belonging in school communities. Planning to bring this kind of inclusive experience to your school community?

Schedule your school’s assembly this season and equip students to flaunt what makes them shine.

Disability Education Workshops For Organizations

At DHIFI, we advance our mission with SEL programs for elementary schools in many ways.

  • School Programs: Our programs for schools are designed to integrate inclusion and SEL education into the curriculum. These programs include workshops, classroom activities, and assemblies where students are engaged in meaningful discussions regarding acceptance and respect.
  • Community Programs: We extend our reach beyond schools by collaborating with community organizations, summer camps, faith-based groups, and other non-profits. Having communities that are inclusive where diversity is celebrated and understanding promoted is what these programs work towards.
  • Corporate Programs: We aim to expand our reach to the corporate sector as well. As part of this goal, Inclusion presentations and training sessions are offered so that workplaces that are more inclusive are capable of being created by companies. A culture of respect and acceptance among employees is something these programs promote which are tailored to each organization’s specific needs.

Inspiring individuals to embrace their unique differences and foster an inclusive and empathic culture is DHIFI’s goal. We strive to create environments where everybody feels valued and respected with the help of our social emotional learning activities, social emotional activities for kids , inclusion programs, and anti-bullying activities.

Testimonials

During our 2019 annual President’s Council of Cornell Women (PCCW) Symposium, Meg gave an impressionable presentation titled “What You Think of Me is None of My Business: Embracing Your Superpower” which embodied our theme of PCCW Celebrates One Cornell: Diversity and Inclusion.” Not only was Meg’s presentation insightful, thoughtful and impactful, but she captivated the audience. Sharing stories about those who go through life with visible and invisible differences made us aware that we all face difficulties and challenges in many ways, but together, through education and awareness, we can be compassionate, loving and caring to everyone, no matter the trials and tribulations ahead.

When the U.S. Embassy in Israel hosted Meg Zucker as a Distinguished American Speaker in 2015, the audiences she spoke and met with were deeply inspired by her personal story, her effective advocacy, and the early success of Don’t Hide It, Flaunt It.  Her appearance made a huge impact with advocates for inclusion and acceptance which still resonates today with those who met her.

Daniel Shapiro

former U.S. Ambassador to Israel

Meg is an energetic and engaging speaker who inspires all who meet her with her life story of growing up with a blatant physical difference and parenting kids who share her difference.   Her message of “the things that make me different make me, me” is heartfelt and impactful and resonates with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.  Meg’s mission of building acceptance, tolerance, and empathy is more important now than ever before.  Everyone who has the pleasure of hearing Meg’s story and her vision will be better for it.
