Conclude the lesson with a discussion
on the exercise, asking students the following:
How do the stereotypes recorded by
the class make you feel? What do you notice about the stereotypes listed? Be
aware that the students may have listed good and bad adjectives, many
stereotypes for different groups, or the same stereotypes for different groups.
Are they true?
Where have you seen these stereotypes
portrayed? television programmes, movies, magazines, books, social gatherings,
family? How do you think a stereotype might cause someone to act unfairly
towards another person? What does this mean with regard to diversity and
inclusion? Make sure the discussion ends on a positive note in the current
context.
Explain the concept of Differently
Abled People (DAP) 30 Min
Introduce
the session by stating that diversity and inclusion applies to everyone.
Highlight that one particular group, people with disabilities or Differently
Abled People (DAP) respectively will be discussed here in this session, since
most of us do not understand their realities and needs very well. Introduce
concept of disability and differently abled and highlight that we all will have
to live in situations where we might be impaired and struggle to adjust in
day-to-day lives and work. Show the advantages and disadvantages of looking at
different abilities and diversity.
Put the trainees into four
groups. Write the following questions for them to discuss:
•
Do you know anyone who is
differently abled?
•
What different ability do they have?
•
What does different ability mean?
Trainees write down their
ideas and briefly present. Highlight that it is not easy to define what
disability is.
