- Think Diverse
This guide designed for the Think Diverse (Erasms +, 2021-2023) is meant to support the creative sets suggested in the three countries to enhance diversity.
In a first point it reminds the creativity approach together with a very applied approach suggested by the Epstein Inventory and a selection of key articles mentionned in the bibliography.
In a second point the general context of diversity in Europe is reminded- with the legal framework suggested since 1957 (Treaty of Rome), some main improvements since 2000 (Directives against discrimination based on gender & ethnic origin) and the Charter for Fundamental rights adopted in 2010 (50 rights on the basis of 6 notions : Dignity ;Freedoms ; Equality ; Solidarity; Citizen’s rights & Justice) .
In a third point, the different kinds of diversity selected for the Think Diverse are explained as an illustration of the innovative strategy implemented– gender diversity in Italy (Skill up & TAG, Italy), mental/health diversity (Curva Polar & Neotalentway, Spain) and interreligious & intercultural diversity (iriv & Lirac, France).
In a fourth point, some practical exercises are explained- working on stereotypes & clichés; a “geographical” diversity in the cities gathered (Rome, Grenada and Paris) as examples of European cities – modern, multicultural, and diverse.
The glossary is suggesting a selection of notions that can be enriched by educators while working with youngsters or with their co-workers. The bibliography has also selected main articles that should be enriched as the creative approach is on the agenda of policy makers in the field of Education- in Europe (European Union) but also worldwide (OECD).
