Examine the toy industry’s culture and blind spots that hinder the advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work during this series of educational sessions hosted by The Toy Association.

Children need diverse role models who can positively impact their perceptions of themselves, their own empowerment, and the world around them. Engaging business to promote positive representation through the marketing, packaging and advertising of products designed for children is a vital part of achieving equality and inclusion – and inspiring more diverse and equal worlds of play. Join us as we discuss a path forward.
