Fostering Inclusive Behavior
Your Tool Description
Intercultural Engagement
- This tool helps you guide young people in recognizing and addressing biases in themselves and others while building inclusion skills. Biases, whether subtle or obvious, shape how we treat people and perceive the world. Through guided idea generation, you create a safe space for young people to reflect on their assumptions, think critically about stereotypes, and practice inclusive responses.
- By exploring real-world biases, you encourage self-awareness and help young people understand the impact of their actions. This activity equips them with practical tools to respond thoughtfully to bias, fostering empathy, inclusion, and confidence in building positive relationships. Your guidance reinforces the importance of creating a respectful and equitable environment for everyone.
- Why it's important: This tool builds self-awareness by helping young people identify their own biases and reflect on their impact. It promotes critical thinking by encouraging them to thoughtfully analyze assumptions and stereotypes. It also fosters inclusion by equipping them with practical skills to create a more respectful and inclusive environment.
