This is my poster for the children on how to appreciate diversity.
Personal reflection on this challenge:
I think this challenge was really interesting, for me it gave me more than the other challenges…
because this was about how you work with children on diversity and the other challenges were more for yourselves. I’m here to learn more about diversity and learn how you teach and to learn from that… that’s why this challenge was really good for me. I really liked it. Especially the last exercise we had to make: the story in different languages and in different orders… this is something you could do with children! I will be a preschool teacher and in Belgium we all ready got a subject that called ICO (inter cultureel onderwijs: intercultural education. And we learned how we teach a multicultural class and how we have to make a challenge from every diversity and not think that every diversity is difficult and that you have to deal with it… don’t deal with... USE IT!

This was my multicultural class when I did my practice two weeks before Christmas. I learned the children that not every child of this class was celebrating Christmas and that they do other celebrations. We learned about different celebrations in different cultures. Here we were eating Moroccan cookies and drinking Moroccan tea. The children didn’t learned it from me… they learned from each other, learning from other cultures. And actually it is not only with different cultures… every class is a multicultural class… everyone is different… so you have to do all of this… every day of your teaching… than the children will be really interested in you and you can learn also from the children!
