Therefore, it is important to use inclusive language, free from stereotypes and prejudices, and remain open to dialogue, debate and different perspectives. It must be recognized that racist, disparaging, or demeaning language discriminates, stigmatizes, and harms both individuals and groups. For other key terms, see Guidelines\u2026\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn intercultural education based on intercultural competences, while discussing \u201cdifficult topics\u201d related to migration:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tEstablish common principles for work and discussions with students (e.g. contract: \u201cA group contract is a document that a group creates to formalise the expectations of group members.\u201d For more information consult: <a data-url=\"https:\/\/uwaterloo.ca\/centre-for-teaching-excellence\/teaching-resources\/teaching-tips\/developing-assignments\/group-work\/making-group-contracts\" href=\"https:\/\/uwaterloo.ca\/centre-for-teaching-excellence\/teaching-resources\/teaching-tips\/developing-assignments\/group-work\/making-group-contracts\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Making group contracts<\/a>),\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\texplain, do not criticise, try to encourage good rules and principles (refer to ethical, non-discriminatory codes at your university or school),\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tmake sure that students feel part of the group (sense of security) and at the same time feel responsible for working together in class,\u00a0\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tdiscuss specific cases and situations in their social, cultural, political, geographical context \u2013 refer to the context and situational relevance of the presented issues, \u2022 try to verify and differentiate sources of knowledge and information, and stick to the facts,\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tshow the latest data along with its sources,\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tpresent images of people in an ethical way (respect the dignity of the person of an image and their right to privacy),\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tdiversify the methods of work, but at the same time choose those which are comfortable and safe for you as a teacher,\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\ttake care of your own and your students\u2019 comfort in the group\/class, pay attention to the potential resulting from the internal diversity of the group\/class,\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tbe aware of the diverse learning needs of your students, \u2022 ensure appropriate non-discriminatory language in discussions. Ethical approach The topics discussed in this e-module are sensitive, especially in the context of the migration crisis (Bhabha, 2018) and strong social polarisation on the issue of whether or not to accept migrants and refugees (e.g. Poland, Hungary in 2015\/16 and then again in 2021\/22).\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\tIt is important to pay attention to the possibility of a situation in which there are people with difficult migration\/refugee experiences in a group or class. It is necessary to ensure that they do not feel called upon to respond as experts. It may happen that some issues may be difficult to discuss for some students\/pupils with migration experience (memories may also be difficult). For this reason, it is crucial to remember about ethics and to ensure a sense of security in the group. Before starting classes on this topic, it is advisable to inform students that such classes will take place and what methods will be used.\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teaching methods proposed in this module: exposing \u2013 fragments of films (for students and for teachers), providing \u2013 presentation, informative lecture, problem \u2013 work on case studies (exercises): individual work, teamwork, activating \u2013 didactic discussion, group discussions, critical analysis of &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":240,"featured_media":0,"parent":72,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-76","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/76","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/240"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/76\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2355,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/76\/revisions\/2355"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/sensiclass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
