We are all different but equal STORY DESCRIPTION
PUPILS AGE SELF-REFLECTION QUESTIONS
At my school, probably starting from first grade, my ethnic background (Romani), physical appearance, food I eat, way of speaking, etc. I was bullied and discriminated against for many reasons both online spaces social networks and face to face. People always find something in me to criticize. At our school, I never had friends to talk to because the only form of social interaction was words from my peers in our school and the only communication was harmful to me because I am a Romani. “Hate speech '' is something that now I got used to. Some people think that I am some kind of lower species of life. Unfortunately, they are not the only ones, there are some people who think this too around us. They tell me that I am Roma and that I am predestined to clean the streets and marry and give birth. They also tell me that they don't even understand why I am at all attending school.
14 - 15 YEARS Teachers will use these questions when analyzing the case/ the story with pupils: in fact, teachers invite pupils to reflect on how they would react, what the character felt, what measures they would take if they witnessed such an event, etc. 1 - How important is the education of Roma youth to overcome prejudices against Roma? Our students also noted that while education is essential to improving the situation of Roma, a comprehensive approach is needed to make real change in the local context as well. Because Roma lacks the professional networks of the majority of the population, it is not enough for them to go to school and graduate from these schools, and they are aware that they are always at risk of discrimination. 2 - What are the roles of the local community, parents, and NGOs in removing prejudices against Roma people? Our students also stated that in addition to the important role parents have, teachers, other students, and the parents of the majority of children are also very important. They agreed that involving Roma community members and youth in local networks, NGOs, having positive views on local communities, and eliminating discrimination would have positive effects. 3 - How would you react, what the character felt, what measures would you take if you witnessed such an event? If I were in the place of this cyberbully student, I would defend myself against these cyberbullies. I would like to express myself better to break these prejudices. I would let them know me I would get them together with my family and friends.
