Step Three

Discussion

What are some of the ways people in these situations "lost" as a result of stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, orscapegoating?

What are some ways the people who did the stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, or scapegoating "lost"?

What kinds of conflicts do these situations represent? How would you classify them?

What is the role of stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, or scapegoating in the conflicts - is it the cause of theconflict? An escalator?

Can you think of other examples where people have lost out because of stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, or scapegoating- either as victims or perpetrators?

How do you think the people in these situations learned stereotypes or prejudices?

Have you ever been the victim of stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, or scapegoating?

Step Four

Reflecting

  • Ask your students to write about one idea in the class discussion that stood out for them.
  • Ask your students to write about one thing they heard someone else say that stood out for them. (Tell the students ahead of time that you will ask them to do this; it will helpstudents develop the habit of listening closely while others are speaking.)

Note from jane goodall

MY VISION FOR U.N. PEACE DAY- SEPTEMBER 21, 2003

The first Giant Peace Dove was conceived by Matthew Hoffman and Robert&Kelly Cornett of Puppet Farm Arts to commemorate my appointment by Kofi Annan, as a UN Messenger of Peace. Already some 40 ofthese spectacular doves have taken part in many peace demonstrations.

My vision is that on 21st September - the designated UN Peace Day - Roots&Shoots groups will "fly" these doves all over the globe. Roots&Shoots is now in 70 countries with some 4,500 active groups (pre-school through university with seeds growing in seniorcitizen residences!). But not only Roots&Shoots groups shall "fly" the doves. Other groups and individuals shall also make and "fly" the doves.My sister and her daughter will make one. They will be taken to sea in boats, taken up mountains, appear in parks and gardens.

They will help us everywhere to celebrate the yearning for peace of the peoples of the world. A celebration of all that is noble andfree in the human spirit. Will you help to make my vision take off so that our flocks of Giant Peace Doves shall be seen from a satellite? Thank You.

Peace and love,

Jane Goodall, PhD CBE

Founder-the Jane Goodall Institution&UN Messenger of Peace

Giant peace doves

Jane Goodall's Giant Peace Dove Campaign continues every day, everywhere. With your students, consider making one of thesepeace doves and flying it in a place that is visible.

Giant Peace Doves are an easy-to-build, portable, and visible symbol of peace that anyone can make. These doves show the power ofcollaborative art to unify communities, cities, and the world.

Click on the link below to learn how to make the Giant Peace Dove. It comes with a diagram. There is also an "Image Gallery of PeaceDoves" and "World Map of Giant Peace Doves" showing where peace doves were created and flown.
