Surbhi recently conducted a session on ‘Unconscious Bias’ for the FoC students at Narayangaon. The training began with an exercise demonstrating how the mind operates in ways that are outside of conscious awareness or control. The exercise highlighted the role of inbuilt beliefs and attitudes that affect our judgments about individuals or their groups in different spheres of life, as opposed to a balanced, rational approach. While it is difficult to completely remove the unconscious bias, it helps when one is more aware and alert while taking decisions. The students also shared their day-to-day life experiences where they encountered unconscious bias. The session was well received and enjoyed by everyone.
