Activity 14 – Models of Coexistence
Learning objectives: This tool
- helps you understand the 4 main “bubbles” in a model of coexistence
- makes you realise that one’ s status in society or in a group is not static
- let you realise that knowing the factors shaping your status, makes you more optimistic
The main models are co-existence can be separated as follows:
Exclusion, Segregation, Integration, Inclusion
- Find the models on internet, as they are drawn as circles/bubbles, where little spots represent people in and outside of the circles, according to their position on the 4 level od co-existence. Observe the models.
- Which scale of the four (4) do you think you are at the moment in your host country?
- Where were you when you arrived in your host country?
- What were the factors (people, things, strategies, ideas, skills, etc) helped you move on towards inclusion (if you feel you moved)? E.g. A mentor, a colleague, a daily routine: walking the dog the same hour with neighbours.
- Which are your obstacles to be more included (if you wish so)?
