Our Little Stereotypes
Through Intercultural Education and Experiential Learning towards Tolerance
The INEX – Association for Voluntary Activities is one of partners in this project together with The Multicultural Centre Prague (main coordinator) and AFS – Intercultural Programs. The project started in June 2010.
Our aim is to contribute to the prevention of xenophobia and racism among vocational schools students using methods of intercultural education and experiential learning. The project involves students and teachers from 5 regions of the Czech Republic (Central Bohemia Region, South Bohemian Region, Pilsen Region, Region of Karlovy Vary, Region of Hradec Králové). It offers the students direct contact with their peers with a different cultural background (foreigners, members of ethnic minorities).
We have developed an original educational programme which can be divided into 4 parts:
- Intercultural Seminar
- Cycle of Intercultural Workshops
- Experiential Training
- Miniworkcamp
The Intercultural Seminar and the Cycle of Intercultural Workshops are intended for school classes whereas at the Experiential Training and the Miniworkcamp individual students participate voluntarily.
In this programme students have an opportunity to experience their own attitude towards norms and difference, to think about life in a culturally diverse society, about their own values, the role of media, stereotypes and other topics.
The project offers also seminars for teachers - about intercultural education in general and this project’s methodology in particular.
The internet portal provides detailed information about the project.
Duration of the project: June 2010 – May 2013
The project is funded by the European Social Fund and the national budget of the Czech Republic through the operational program Education for competitiveness.
