Lately,
we have been carrying out activities that have to do with minorities,
being our main objectives , among others, to raise awareness about
diversity, encourage tolerance, develop empathy and prevent bullying.
That's
the reason why we performed this game: a race in which different roles
(catholic woman, upper class homosexual teenager, lesbian black woman
etc) are assigned to students who will have to take one, two steps
forwards or no steps depending on the different scenarios suggested by
the teacher ( getting a job in a bank, having a flat, having a medical insurance etc..). Who will the first one to reach the finishing line?
Interesting
to discuss about feelings, expectations and opinions and reflect about
what it is like to be part of a minoriy group or community and what that
means.
