Our interactive activities from our CAFFE Creativity Boxes– involve observational play, the arts, reframing and imaginistic exercises – will position your team to eradicate microaggressions, discover hidden biases and highlight roadblocks that could be inhibiting your inclusion and creativity goals. Opportunity follows ideas. Inclusive team building empowers creative collaboration. Let our diverse team equip your staff with proven strategies that support inclusion and the development of innovative ideas.
