Working Group “Tool-kit on Xenophobia”
The working group was terminated in October 2016
Introduction
Out of the idea of creating a simulation game on the topic of right wing extremism/ populism the working group developed the idea to create a tool-kit which consists of different modules which can be seen as single modules itself (module 1-4) or can be used as one simulation game (1-4 as introductions and 5-6 for the game).
Modules
- The expression of populism in our everyday life
- Stereotypes and prejudices: Introduction, definitions, games (e.g. using the simulation game “The Isle of Albatros”, “Plan B”)
- Basics on the European Union
- The power of media on our everyday life and, as a result, the meaning of different information and a lack of information through media
- Simulation game on the topic of xenophobia with different roles
- Debriefing of the simulation game
Goals
- Raising awareness about populism in our everyday life
- Developing empathy / personal experience concerning stereotypes/ prejudices/ xenophobia
- Creation of a Tool-kit in English for EUNET members
Target groups
- Civil society with special focus on young people with lower opportunities (easy texts,…)
What to do and when?
- Creating a platform where all interested members of EUNET can upload material
Platform already exists and first data collection has started: http://de.padlet.com/amsellen/EUNETsimgame
- Collecting existing material with comments on their own experiences about the topic and already existing simulation games together with all interested EUNET members
- Creation of different workshops/ modules
- Adapting the developed modules into the different countries
