Frosh Module: Embracing Identity & Diversity
This module was created as part of a university orientation program to introduce new students to the importance of understanding, accepting, and celebrating diverse identities on campus.
Background
College often becomes the first space where individuals encounter diversity on a broader scale. Without proper understanding, this diversity can lead to prejudice or exclusion. PeaceGeneration developed this module in response to the need for a learning environment that promotes tolerance, inclusion, and self-awareness of social identity.
Objectives
- Help new students understand the concepts of identity and diversity more deeply
- Encourage personal reflection on individual and social identities
- Foster openness and empathy toward differences on campus
- Create a safe space for discussion and exploration of diversity-related topics
Strategy & Approach

The module is thematically and gradually designed, starting with the concept of identity and moving toward understanding diversity and social dynamics. It includes personal reflections, group discussions, and case studies.
- Student-Friendly Visuals and Language
It uses engaging visuals, relatable student-life illustrations, and accessible, conversational language that avoids sounding preachy.
- Values-Based and Experiential Learning
Activities are based on peace values and experiential learning approaches to ensure participants engage not only cognitively, but also emotionally.
Output
