Seeing diversity/Acting against discrimination

Aims of the practise Give participants the space to talk about their experiences in term of diversity, stereotype and discrimination: -	What diversity mean (for each participant and on a societal level)? -	How diversity and different identities were talked about in society? -	How stereotypes influence us and how fight against them and discriminations? Discover diversity in its multiple layers and implications. Allow participants to discover their own potential to act against discriminatory actions.

Duration 1 workshop over two 7-hours workshop days.

Step-by-step - what has to be done? This practice is based on an informal approach. Here are the key points to achieve the goal: 1.	Ice-breaking. 2.	Group building and communication exercises. 3.	Body working. 4.	Establishment of the communication rules. 5.	Self-reflection of experiences through a “barometer of experiences”. 6.	Group discussions that allow critical reflections and comparisons. For instance, participants must question themselves on how differences get erased and consensus on a societal level is achieved? 7.	Media review and analysis by assessing pictures in school books. 8.	Role plays:
 * 1) Culture on Albatros.
 * 2) “Schwarzfahrer” (based on principles of Theatre of the Oppressed and a German short-movie).

Learning Outcomes - which skills are adressed? -	Self-reflection. -	Critical reflexion of own biases. -	Team work. -	Strategies for civil courage.
