Diversity, Multiculturalism and Tolerance!! :)
- Diversity is the range of different things and it is very important because the world is changing every day. In the world, there are people with so many different cultures, religions, races, etc. that make them uniques.
- Everybody, including children must learn to accept other types people´s styles of life, opinions and cultures in order to become productive citizens of the world.
- As teachers, is our job to prepare children for the real world, and the real world is a very diverse one. We have the chance to teach children love and acceptance now, even if it is not being taugh at home.
- We do that through the Multiculturalism as a way of approaching cultural diversity within a classroom. Using books or stories about diversity is a very good way to teach cildren to learn to respect and accept others independently of their skin colour, opinion, ability or likes.
- Besides, tolerance plays a very important role within multiculturalism because it´s the ability to apply adequate patience to the existence of what we dislike, that is different or disagree with our opinions.
What does the diversity mean?

Discrimination and Racism
- Discrimination is the prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age or sex. But also can be refered to other aspects such as weight, religion, income level o disability.
- Racism is the discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one´s own race is superior.
- Talking about Discrimination and Racism with chidren is as important as when we talk about diversity because children notice when someone looks different that they do. They also notice when certain groups seem to be treated differently that others. And it´s very important teach them to learn to accept everybody without having account their culture, sex, skin colour, religion, ability, etc.
- Talking about Discrimination and Racism can help kids appreciate diversity and better recognize discrimination when they see it.
