Issue 1 - Welcome Edition – Saturday 29 July
Programme Preview: Prejudice
Stereotypes, discrimination, sexism, ageism, racism, homophobia ... what these things all have in common is that they're all types of prejudice.
The aim of our centre at Global Village is to help us try to learn how to identify and reduce our own prejudices. Come along to the centre, try our workshops, perform in (or perhaps just enjoy) our multicultural show.
You'll learn a lot about other people's cultures, about prejudice itself and how you can try and eliminate it.
So — what exactly will be doing? First of all, we have the multiculural show where different nationalities, delegations, districts, organisations and so on at the camp to showcase them for others.
We'll have music, dance, drama, stand-up, stories, poems. You can sign up at one of workshops during the week.
During the afternoons, we'll have a series of workshops: for under 11s, we'll be looking at what prejudice is, for 11-16 we'll be asking whether or not the media is racist, and for the 16+ strand, we'll be looking at gender stereotyping and how we can combat it.
