You shouldn't say that!

The two laughed at her face and continued to throw food at David.

In this situation what do you think you could do to help?

Joana gives David the courage to go and talk to Technician Ana Carolina.

W e n e e d h e l p .

Zeca and João are saying and doing bad things!

Technician Ana Carolina listened to them attentively and promised she would help.

Ana Carolina, the Childcare Technician, had a serious talk with the whole group about discrimination:

-

-We

Do you agree with what the Technician said?

Technician Ana Carolina organized themed days, in which each child had the opportunity to present his or her family and culture.

What do your families do differently?

Each child had the opportunity to talk about their life, food, clothes, dances and other traditions

To be discriminated against is to be treated differently just because we have other characteristics.

They built friendship bracelets, which united each kid to all others.

João showed interest in the subject and asked some questions he had doubts about.

Why do we have different skin colours?

Skin colour has to do with temperature and how much sun there is in each country. Just as in summer we get darker.

Why do people have different accents? and different clothes?

There are people from other countries who come to Portugal. Why do they come to Portugal?

Just as João was born in one city and now lives in another, there are people who change countries.

Technician Ana Carolina explains that different countries have different ways of living. And that's all right.

John though about all these things.

In the following days Zeca apologises to David. He realised that people can be different and get along well. They start playing together.

After thinking about what he has learned, João begins to realize that David is just like all the other children.

He comes up to David and says sorry. From now on he would like to play with him.

Now everything goes well in David's classroom.

All the children respect each other and talk about their way of doing things.

Nobody is discriminated against and hate speech is no longer part of the conversation.

Technician Ana Carolina is very pleased and continues to make days with activities from various regions and countries. David now feels at home.

And you, what do you know about other countries and other cultures?

Do you have friends who come from another country? Have you asked them about their country?

Did your family come from another country?

From where? What do you like best about the country you come from?
