Talking about it
Testimony
To live symbolically a situation, to be confronted with inequality or discrimination makes it possible to put oneself in the place of ... It favors the empathy and makes it possible to change the representations and also the behaviors.
I regularly train my teams and help them set up sessions that raise children’s awareness of subjects that are sometimes not very easy to tackle. In 2018, a weekly session was organized over a 6-week period, then we scheduled a meeting at the end of the cycle with two other schools. This enabled playground conflicts to be reduced and the presence of girls and the very young to be increased in playground activities. Using games and sport to talk about certain topics enables all children to express themselves, which they don’t really do during debates between children. Education through sport enables children to develop their knowledge of a subject while playing. Amusement enables a subject to be addressed in a fun way so that it becomesmore pertinent.
The idea of themed games, which can be quite constraining in terms of power of action, turned out very useful to collect students’ feedbacks and make connections with “real life” situations. Not that it actually changes representations, but I feel like making students think about these issues through games and making them debate and discuss is a progress for any educator or teacher.
