diversity, inclusion and harassment program

 

Findings on diversity and inclusion

All these challenges require in-depth work to open up to diversity.

Recommendations from health authorities

Numerous bodies, such as France Publique France and the WHO, recommend focusing actions on the development of Psycho-Social Competencies. Indeed, it has been found that such strategies are more effective than prevention campaigns focused on information and knowledge of risks or benefits: the culture of empathy, the development of self-confidence, assertiveness and informed decision-making are extremely powerful levers in terms of prevention.

 

What do the national education programs say?

Area 3 of the Common Base, entitled "Personal and civic development", focuses on :

mutual tolerance, empathy, equality, distance from stereotypes, refusal of discrimination, the principle of secularity.

The government's anti-harassment announcements

OUR program objectives

The objectives of the diversity and inclusion program

The "Diversity and Inclusion" program addresses the following objectives:

  1. Opening up to diversity
  2. Adopting an inclusive attitude to difference
  3. Identifying and combating stereotypes
  4. Taking action against harassment

The program in detail

Session 1 Pupils define the notion of diversity with a sorting game, and play with non-stereotypical images to familiarize themselves with difference, be it physical, religious, ethnic or other. Then they collectively create a beautiful ribambelle.

Session 2: Students define the notion of inclusion with a crossword puzzle, then learn a little more about the different types of disability and deconstruct certain prejudices. Finally, they experiment with blindness by making tactile dominoes.

Session 3: Students learn to identify stereotypes through games and an animated film.

Session 4: Students learn to identify a discriminatory or disrespectful situation with a sorting game and a maze, then understand the mechanisms of harassment and how to prevent or combat it, as a harasser, victim or witness. Finally, they experiment with different techniques for defusing a harassment situation through role-playing.

Session 5: The final session enables students to take stock of their learning and formalize a written trace with the key elements.

Our edutainment approach

Our approach combines independent games on tablet/computer and classroom activities.
Why use digital technology to work on CPS?

A variety of games enable students to reflect on themselves and discover best practices in concrete, everyday situations.
Ergonomics and easy-to-understand instructions encourage intuitive use by students: sorting games, drag & drop, MCQs, mazes, sophrology, etc.

Then a class activity is proposed. This could be, for example :

> a collective exchange or debate to develop opinions
> a role-playing game to put into practice what has been learned
> a small-group activity to consolidate what has been learned and learn to collaborate
> an artistic activity to develop creativity
> an activity to formalize what has been learned, such as application exercises or the creation of a written record.

A turnkey tool

In your teacher interface, you will have access to all the resources you need to implement the session:

  • student tracking charts
  • step-by-step teaching guides for easy-to-use sessions
  • student materials to be projected or photocopied
  • a proposed yearly progression and references to official programs
  • instructions for use

To sum up:

The DIVERSITY & INCLUSION program will help your students to respect and even value difference, and to think about how to take action against discrimination and violence.
