raising the racial consciousness of the participants

diversitätsorientiertes Lernen

As highlighted by their words, young people identified ways in which this learning affects their own thinking about themselves, their racial group, and their action toward challenging stereotypes. Engaging in dialogue with one another about the effects of stereotypes in their own lives seemed to help raise their own racial consciousness and to help them to begin to think critically about media and society driven notions of racial identity.

Intergroup Dialogues Program
The 8-week summer program brings together young people of African, Asian, European, Latino/a, and Middle Eastern descent across city and suburb to dialogue on issues of race and ethnicity. Youth engagement and learning about race in a group setting includes a youth-led participatory program evaluation. The case study offers insights on the learning experience and context of youth engagement in community-based intergroup dialogues. Themes include (1) discussing race, (2) learning skills to communicate across different races, (3) grappling with privilege and oppression, and (4) developing leadership.
