Description
The main objective of this activity is to make students reflect on their images about others’ culture and the possibility to change these points of view by removing traditional stereotypes. It is important that, at the beginning, this activity must be presented as an exercise of creating a story in group. Later, they will know which the real goal is.
In this activity students have to create a story which begins with “This is the story of Antonio, a young boy from Madrid”. Each pupil will add some information to create a story and some time later the teacher/monitor will create a new character, Ali who is a young boy from Morocco. When the story will be finish, they will draw which stereotypes have these characters and they will try to remove them.
The instructions are written in English or French but the activity can be done in any language. The preparation of this activity is very easy: some sheets of papers and a ball. Moreover, it is a very flexible activity because you can adapt it to discuss about the stereotypes we have about immigrants, physically handicapped persons or homosexuals.
