From Scaling Up to Scaling Across (p. 36): “Scaling across happens when people create something locally and inspire others who carry the idea home and develop it in their own unique way.”
Scaling up is based on only one individual's ideas, whereas scaling across is based on an entire community's ideas and embraces its different contexts.

We both brought colorful Sharpies and plain bumper sticker paper and allowed each individual to create their very own bumper sticker. We instructed them to choose any word they want that relates to our topic (respect, diversity, social justice, empathy, etc.) and make a design or come up with a slogan for it. After about 15 minutes, we asked each person to share about their sticker and why they chose that word and/or that slogan.

Class Discussion
At the end of our presentation, we opened it up for a class discussion. Below are a few of the questions we talked about.
- Name a time or experience when you felt as if it were a challenge to be diverse?
- Name a time or experience when you felt an advantage by being diverse.
- Do you believe diversity can help to effect change? If so, how?
- Does diversity bring us together or separate us further?
