Discrimination of looks
YoUtopia: Towards Participative Citizenship
How many different countries and cultures?
The research aim of the Greek subtopic is to prove that
All people are equal no matter what his origin, color, height, weight, style, ……
and to adopt the idea that by
Accepting Diversity and combatting Discrimination of looks and of any other kind we can achieve in establishing a fair city to live in.
YoUtopia: towards participative citizenship
How many different languages, customs and habits?
The main objective of our work is to promote active citizenship by:
• comparing topical dimensions of society on appearance based discrimination
• analyzing the effects of discrimination of appearance on individuals,
• challenging people to develop a more tolerable conscience towards this issue
Altogether totally synchronized!!!
And here too in international groups
We hope that members of YoUtopia will be encouraged to:
broaden their minds and thought on appearance based discrimination issue
take initiative and act within a group in a fair and non discriminative way
develop collective spirit that gives the same opportunities to members of the group to enhance personal skills, abilities and respect.
They seem to understand each other!!
We also hope that..
this work on Appearance Based Discrimination and Acceptance of Diversity, is going to contribute to the establishment of a constant relation between students, parents and local society, aiming to the exchange of the ideas of equality, tolerance, volunteering and diversity and
the adoption of practices that promote multiculturalism and respect of the Different.
They can communicate despite the different languages!!
They are able to plan and agree and… Again how many countries?
Not one, not two but eight
Moreover pupils and teachers,
of different European countries and of different cultural background, have a unique opportunity to get involved in common cooperational activities, contributing to developing a new consciousness of belonging to a common wider educational, vocational, cultural and economical societywhere all people deserve to be equal addressed, estimated and respected.
They can explore and exchange opininons and wonder….
They can learn different countries’ history!!
And travel back to Ancestry
Summing up the mission of schools taking part in the inquiry of Discrimination of Looks and Diversity
is to inspire students to become active EU citizens through research and collaboration of different
genders, generations, nationalities, people with different physical abilities and looks
and through learning to become tolerant personalities to
what promotes human dignity.
Learning about other civilizations reinforces multiculturalism and diversity
As referred in our application form
Life style is shaped in childhood and teenage period not only by educating students, but also by providing them opportunities of real life experience. Special importance is given to the fact that our work addresses every participant-member by putting through questions like:
• - who, if not you?• - when, if not now? • - where, if not here?
Working and exploring together…
Presenting their inquires
Working on international teams on Questionnaire results
And here too on Twinspace disccussions summaries
YoUtopia: towards participative citizenship
In conclusion
as a result of all intended activities, the Greek subtopic aims to
prove that only real change in the way of thinking and realizing concepts like Diversity and Human Rights by every citizen, including youngsters, may lead to the establishment of an ideal society, and
shape an alternative model of an ideal society locally, nationally and on European level too.
