Anti-discrimination

This team subdivided to developed two projects. The first delivers content around anti-racism to elementary students in three different ways. A video incorporates three guest speakers from across EPSB who discuss introductory concepts such as what racism, antiracism, and privilege are in a child-friendly manner. This then leads into the activity portion in which students can visualize the concept of privilege rather than it solely being presented as an abstract concept - the activity is then debriefed in the video as well. The last part of this package are discussion questions that were created as an additional resource to supplement the video and the activity. The questions are meant to evoke positive and constructive conversation, and ensure that all students can contribute, regardless of their background. The second project is a slide presentation on how students can respond when faced with discrimination. Beginning with important definitions for words related to anti-discrimination, the presentation moves on to discussing how students can report and respond to discrimination in the school environment, avoid and deal with discrimination, and help those who have faced discrimination. With assistance from an EPSB teacher, the presentation is tailored to helping students advocate for themselves and others. Included in this presentation is an activity for students to understand how intersectionality affects their everyday lives.
