Some ways I could promote greater understanding and cohesion among races would include providing opportunities for students to discover for themselves the uniqueness about other races. This can be done by placing themselves in other races shoes. Let the kids explore for themselves what are the stereotypes society of other races have towards the particular race they are placing themselves in. Make them act out a role play on living together as a multi racial society. What would be the implications should there be racial tensions among different race groups? How can people of different cultural and traditional background live together under one roof? Role play the scenarios given in the most creative ways the students could think of. Get them to wear each other costumes not just on racial harmony day but on other class outings especially during festive seasons. Give each of them a chance to tell the rest more bout their religion and festivals. Pair them in groups of different races and make sure they don’t only stick to their friends of the same races. Here are some of the ways that I think will help them understand each other and also to unite them and care for one another.
