What is important for children/pupils to learn?
It is very important that kids become very open-minded. They don’t have to be self-centered about their own culture/country. We have to learn the kids to be more open and understanding about their own culture but we also have to open their eyes about foreign countries aswell. We have to try and divert them from being prejudice. If they have a rather positive attitude about a certain country, it will be easier for them to communicate with people of that kind of culture.
What are you going to teacher to your kids?
I would teach my kids respect of all cultures. Just because it’s different, doesn’t mean it’s wrong. The way I would do this is by showing them various cultures, try and teach them various cultures, try and open their eyes to see that we are not the only ones. Try and lead them away from the prejudice way of thinking and try to show them, or maybe even inspire them, with new cultures.
Edit: What we spoke about on a different challenge was about how can we introduce various cultures to eachother (inspiration came from “New Boy)? We can make cook books, show them dances, songs, various artifacts that the children can bring to school and educate eachother. Try and show something new and different.
