Petersburg Bureau of Police - Leadership & Empowerment Forum

Step to the Line is an SEL activity that asks participants to "step to the line if" with the moderator, Tasha Moore, asking scenarios ranging from likes, interests, life experiences, feelings, and habits. SEL stands for social-emotional learning which promotes the development of skills and attitudes that aid towards recognizing and navigating emotions with the goal of forming/sustaining healthy relationships.

The "step to the line if" activity allowed participants to identify how they were alike and different, how they've experienced feelings associated with varying life events, and to acknowledge how we all show up in community with one another. It emphasized being able to spend more time seeing humanity in another than perceived differences based on our own individual ignorances.
