Seeing Beyond Stereotypes

Introduce the session by welcoming the student and explaining the purpose of the session. Mention that today we'll learn about stereotypes and the importance of understanding and respect.

What Are Stereotypes?

Discuss the definition of stereotypes. Use simple language and examples. Ask the student: 'What does a stereotype mean to you?'. Encourage the student to think about oversimplifications.

Reflection Time

Guide the student to reflect on moments they've felt misunderstood or judged. If needed, share a personal example. This helps the student connect on an emotional level.

Empathy Role Play

Introduce this slide for a role-playing exercise. Present scenarios where people face stereotypes. Ask the student to think about how each person might feel and what could be said to show empathy.

Wrap-Up & Next Steps

Wrap up the session by summarizing the key points. Ask the student to share one thing they learned and one thing they will do differently in the future. This reinforces personal accountability and positive actions.
