Multicultural
Approach
The multicultural approach is a method whose
aim is to teach children about other cultures and races, different lifestyles,
languages. It wants children not to grow up with stereotypes, making them value
and respect the others.
In my opinion, it's very useful, because
educators can influence the development of a respectful behaviour. They can try
to eliminate stereotypes by proposing activities that make the children learn
the similarities of everyone. This approach want to
accustom the children to the idea that there are different lifestyles,
languages, cultures and viewpoints. It is a really useful instrument to
eliminate stereotypes among different cultures and races.
Since I was young, I have always had experience
with people coming from other countries. For this reason, now I'm able to have
a conversation with everyone, and I don't have stereotypes, cause
I know really many friends from different natiolalities. I can't remember very
well my first approach, because I was only 4 years old. But now I love meeting
new friends, who have different lifestyles from mine.
