We recommend a reissued classic of the Council of Europe, the educational pack All Different – All Equal. This publication aims to provide practical and theoretical materials that can be used by educators, trainers, youth workers and teachers in informal education in order to facilitate the learning process and the knowledge of young people about the social environment in which they live.
The handbook has been developed by the Council of Europe to help young people better understand the causes of racism and intolerance, as well as to value differences between people from different backgrounds. The activities in this education pack help participants develop a new or different view of society and encourage them to take constructive actions and steps towards intercultural understanding.
The target audience of these materials consists primarily of young people. The authors, however, note that the materials can be adapted to all age groups.
The first edition of the pack was part of the European Youth Campaign against Racism, Xenophobia, Anti-Semitism and Intolerance. Therefore, much of the text is based on examples from Europe, but the key concepts are more widely applicable. The second edition has updated examples and is available as a revised edition in English and French. The usefulness of the pack stems from the variety and creativity of the methodologies proposed. More than twenty years after the “All Different – All Equal” campaign, the role plays, simulation exercises, case studies and cooperative group work that it proposes remain an inspiration to many youth workers, trainers, teachers and other people actively involved in intercultural education.
As European societies continue to suffer from a growth of racist hostility and intolerance towards minorities and foreigners, the necessity for intercultural youth work remains undiminished and the relevance of this pack remains unquestionable.
