Thematics

Definitions and concepts

Stereotype is a preconceived, simplistic and false idea of a group or community that is generalized to the whole. Prejudice is a quick, often negative, judgment of a person or group of people. It is "to judge before" to know. Prejudice is based on stereotypes. Discrimination is the act of treating a person or group unfairly and less favourably in a comparable situation. Discriminating is rejecting a person or group for an unfair reason, such as: a part of the body, skin colour, origin, sexual preferences, religion or beliefs, health status, age, sexual identity. Discrimination is a disrespectful and illegal act. Inequality is a difference in circumstances between individuals because of their resources or practices. Discrimination produces inequalities in treatment, but inequalities are not only the result of discrimination. Equity is about adapting resources to the needs and capacities of individuals, to give everyone the same opportunity to achieve the same goal. Empathy is the ability to put oneself in someone else's shoes to understand what one thinks or feels, without experiencing it oneself.

FIGHT AGAINST DISCRIMINATION

ISSUES RELATED TO THE THEME

All types of discrimination, whatever the cause, can have negative consequences: people who are discriminated against are victims of injustice, which can lead to feelings of frustration, exclusion or rejection. In addition, discrimination leads to unequal treatment or access, which reduces the power of action and well-being of victims. It can also influence their behaviour: a person who is excluded for an unjustified reason may self-censor or, on the contrary, revolt.

Discrimination is "direct" when it is voluntary and the difference in treatment is based on a criterion prohibited by law. The discriminatory behaviour is visible. Discrimination is "indirect" when a person is disadvantaged in the face of a seemingly neutral criterion or practice, which in reality produces discrimination on the basis of a criterion prohibited by law. Positive" discrimination refers to the attempt to take into account discrimination suffered by a group of people by adopting specific measures to compensate for disadvantages.

Approach

The subject with the children

The theme of the fight against discrimination can be sensitive in several respects. It sometimes directly affects children's daily lives and can sometimes lead to the emergence of situations that are not easily experienced. The facilitators must therefore guarantee the emotional security of the children and transmit several elements before and during the play sequence. It is possible to dialogue on this subject without judging, to question children without any ulterior motives about their feelings and representations, reminding them that we all have the same rights.
