Secondary pupils have been working on films based on real stories of people who were victims of discrimination and violation of human rights (racial discrimination and slavery, transgender, women's and children's rights, disabilities, women’s right to vote). Students have watched the film and, in class, they created a handout with activities and also thought about a topic for discussion.
Students from all countries watch the 5 films to know the topics to be debated in Portugal.
These are our films for DemEUcracy:
12 Years Slave - Portugal
The Danish Girl - Denmark
Difret - Poland
La Famille Bélier - Serbia
Robin Hood - Italy
LET'S BE AGENTS OF CHANGE

If I were in your shoes
(Pre)Primary children have played a game in which they experience how it is to have a disability (being blind or communicate without speaking or doing things with only one hand). They have made drawings of this experience. This has developed their empathy towards children with disabilities and promote their sense of inclusion. Drawings from all partner schools are posted on TS. The twelve most voted drawings will be included in a calendar created by Serbia.
