Exercise
Creating a common understanding about the term minority.
Promoting sharing among the participants.
Each person writes down 4 characteristics, which can together define the concept of minority. The participants then go together in groups of three and share their 4 characteristics. In case they have chosen different words, they negotiate until they reach an agreement of only 4 words. Now they go into groups of six and do the same. Eventually the whole group comes together. At the end the group presents their common “definition” of minority.
Debriefing:
What are minorities?
What are ethnic minorities?
How do you become a minority?
How do you stop being a minority?
How can you change your minority status?
Who can change it?
Does being a minority mean being disadvantaged?
Which kinds of discrimination can you fight through legislation?
Which limitations does legislation have?
