Previously published as Racism-Socio-Emotional Discussion Groups (McNaughton Centre [Quesnel, BC], 2011). Introduction: This program, through class discussions, explores unhumanistic forces of racism at the students' experiential level, encouraging them to empathize with and show compassion to others. Resources for discussions: 1. Students' opinions and experiences; 2. Teacher's knowledge of problems racism causes; and 3. Videos that feature unlikely friendships in the animal world (as found on youtube video-streams). For each of 20 weeks, students view one of 20 youtube video-streams, and construct a web that they daily add information to, based on the discussion topic of the week. Truths implied by the video-streams: Racism is both illogical and unhumanistic.
