A space adventure game to boost your DE+I capabilities
Often, the biggest inhibitor to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, is the sense that it’s a zero-sum game; that in order for some to advance, others must be held back. DELTA ECHO INDIA, based on a space adventure, reshapes that thinking to create greater acceptance of these important concepts.
It helps teams shift from defensiveness to curiosity and from hesitation to practical inclusion, all through a narrative that is engaging, immersive and highly memorable.
Instead of DEI being framed as instruction or compliance, Delta Echo India turns it into a shared mission where every person matters, every capability is needed and every contribution changes the outcome.
So how does DELTA ECHO INDIA work?
Deliverable both virtually and live, this is a facilitated session that helps participants to unlock their thinking and break through their own internal barriers to understanding this important topic. DELTA ECHO INDIA is a space adventure in which participants will have to think about how to enable their crew members, each with distinctive capabilities and challenges, to shine.
The game makes diversity feel practical and relevant rather than theoretical. Participants experience inclusion in real time as they build strategies, make decisions and adjust to the needs of their team. Every round requires empathy, collaboration and shared problem solving, which makes the learning authentic instead of academic.
1. Invitation to join the Spaceship
A week before the session, all participants are called to the ship to bring their expertise to the mission along with a mission order and an introduction to the other members of the crew. This will enable them to familiarise themselves with the challenges and opportunities ahead. This early engagement primes participants to reflect on their own strengths, blind spots and assumptions before the game begins, setting the stage for deep DEI learning.
3. Weekly Nudges
Following the session, participants will receive 12 weekly nudges, reminding them of the learned content and challenging them to bring the lessons to life, with simple actions and activities, designed to prolong the learning.
These nudges convert inspiration into habit. They help teams practise the behaviours that create inclusion, reduce bias and strengthen belonging long after the workshop is finished. This makes DELTA ECHO INDIA one of the few DEI programmes that supports genuine behavioural change over time.
2. The Game
Typically, a game of DELTA ECHO INDIA lasts around four hours, and is fully interactive throughout, challenging teams to work together to enable the very best from their team members.
The storyline, characters and dilemmas have been carefully designed to mirror real workplace dynamics, including bias, misunderstanding, unequal access, miscommunication and the need for psychological safety. Participants must think through how to create equity rather than equality, how to recognise hidden capability and how to remove barriers that limit contribution.
4. Train-the-trainer
Our Train-the-trainer programme will empower and enable members of your organisation to deliver DELTA ECHO INDIA sessions throughout your organisation with no license fees or complexity. (see the main train-the-trainer section).
This makes it possible to scale inclusion learning across multiple sites, teams or regions without losing the narrative, quality or facilitation standards that make the experience so effective.

The Outcome
By the end of a DELTA ECHO INDIA session, participants will have internalised the principles of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and understood how open-mindedness, appreciation of other peoples’ needs and capabilities and the strength in working as one, can benefit all.
Participants leave with a clearer understanding of the difference between diversity, equity and inclusion, and how each plays a role in building effective teams.
They develop greater empathy, stronger awareness of bias and a practical sense of how to create space for every person to contribute with confidence.
Most importantly, they experience inclusion rather than being instructed about it, which is what makes this game such a powerful culture tool.
