a bit.

What does it mean for us,

in a class room and what

does it mean for Brussels

etc.

Introduction of the meaning of

diversity in general and school-

context. What do they think

diversity means?

10 min. Fatma will explain the

introduction game.

Introduction-game:

Pupils have to make groups

sorted by the next topics (first

three in silence):

- Shoe color (by looking)

- Color of clothing piece (by

looking)

- Eye color (by looking, eye

contact)

- Month and year of birth in

one long row (by talking)

The message during this game

will be that we are all unique

and different, but we all have

our similarities with others.

15 min. Martin will explain the

second game.

Game: other cultures – other

rules and habits.

Core part: self-

reflection(experience of

exclusion and ignorance)

We divided the group in 4. 3 -

3 - and the half of the rest.

The two small groups will go

to the corridor and get the rules

explained. They are only

allowed to answer questions

from those who are similar

from the other groups in the

classroom. Example; girl with

red sweater is only allowed to

answer questions from pupils

who wear the same color. Etc.

The other groups have to ask

questions from daily life and

have to find out why some

pupils answer questions and

why not.

10 min. Bahar will explain the last

game.

Connection game (tableau):

Pupils will search for

similarities with each other.

When they found a similarity,

they connect to each other by

touching.
