Discrimination, racism, anti-Semitism are still dangerous occurences in the modern world to which young people are particularly exposed. Therefore, it is extremely important to speak about them in a language that reaches young people and methods using modern forms of communication.
IYMC in cooperation with the Anne Frank House is preparing a new anti-discrimination project based on methods that respond to today's educational challenges during quarantine. It intends to use the possibilities of Stories that Move - an innovative educational platform dedicated to anti-discrimination and addressed to youth aged 14-17.
It offers a set of tools that teach young people to think critically about diversity, lack of acceptance and all forms of discrimination. It encourages them to think about their own choices and attitudes in relation to specific situations that they face every day or which may arise in their environment.
Stories that Move, based on historical and contemporary sources, offer educational paths combining information, tasks to do, and stories from people's lives. It contains videos depicting the stories of young people about exclusion, discrimination and hate crimes. They are often very moving stories that are the starting point for defining various issues related to broadly understood discrimination and for discussing how to counteract it.
Using the resources of Stories that Move, IYMC prepares educational materials that will soon be available to teachers for use online in working with students. Whereas, in the future it is planned to organize international exchanges using this tool.
