Anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia and other types of discrimination are present in Europe today and affect the lives of young people in all corners of the globe. The online toolkit called Stories that Move requires students to think critically about diversity and discrimination, as well as stimulates reflection on their own attitude and the choices resulting from it, and offers school teachers and educators in the field of non-formal education a modern set of tools developed by experienced a team of educators from all over Europe.
The kit consists of ready-made educational paths connecting information, tasks to be done independently and stories from the lives of people experiencing discrimination. In short videos, young people share their stories, both positive and experiences of exclusion, discrimination and hate crime. These moving and understandable stories are the starting point for a reliable diagnosis of various issues related to the phenomenon of discrimination.
The multilingualism of the tool (the website is available in seven languages: Polish, English, German, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Slovak, Dutch) allows you to use it during foreign language lessons.
The project is the winner of the Comenius EduMedia award in 2018 for excellent teaching materials. The jury of experts praised the effective use of interactive and audiovisual media that allow young Europeans to think about prejudices, stereotypes, discrimination and online media, enabling teachers to address problems and encouraging young people to take action.
