Prejudice – from the Arctic to your classroom

-OA1: Learners name some indigenous groups in the Arctic.
-OA2: Learners explain the influence of the media on their perceptions.
-OA3: Learners name the effects of prejudice and stereotypes on their peers.
-OA4: Learners analyse current living conditions in the Arctic.
(OA = learning objective)

We are all constantly confronted with images of other people, professions, ethnicities, genders, etc. Our opinions on these matters are therefore largely formed subliminally and unconsciously. Using targeted exercises, we confront learners with their images, prejudices and ignorance in a concrete way.
We are working together to address the (negative) influence of the media and artificial intelligence on our self-image and our relationships with one another.
The Inuit of Canada are not immune to these prejudices on our part. By analysing Arctic social media channels, learners discover contemporary Inuit culture. They gain insight into today's realities that go beyond standardised clichés.
Finally, we will discuss the impact of our clichés on the Inuit, but also on our fellow human beings.

-Drawings based on (our ignorance or) our knowledge
-Reflection and discussion on this knowledge, ignorance
-Reflection and discussion on (social) media and how they influence our perception of others
-Analysis of social media channels of people living in the Arctic and active in the public sphere.
