EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME: DIVERSE CITIES3

Introduction: urban diversity European cities today are more diverse than ever before with differences in culture, habits, activities, income, wealth and lifestyle. The challenges faced by urban policymakers and institutions to meet the needs of cities’ increasingly diverse populations are numerous and complex. This is not only a challenge for governments and institutions, but also for residents looking for ways to live in harmony with their surroundings in despite of, or thanks to, a growing diversity of people.

Cultural tensions, deprived neighbourhoods and no-go areas are mainly regarded as problems in media and politics in relation to diversity. But perhaps there is another side to the story? Institutions and residents are showing that diversity doesn’t always just fuel conflict; it also contributes to create cities that are more liveable and harmonious.

DIVERCITIES research project The principal aim of DIVERCITIES is to examine how European cities can benefit from diversity. The project’s central hypothesis is that urban diversity is an asset. It can inspire creativity and innovation forging cities that are more liveable and harmonious. In order to more intelligently use the strengths and potential of diversity, a re-think of public policies needs to be undertaken.

DIVERCITIES is a comparative study in 13 European cities and Toronto (Canada). Research has been conducted among policy-makers, institutions, entrepreneurs and residents. Case studies have been used to examine how diversity is leveraged to achieve social and socio-economic benefits.

More information on DIVERCITIES can be found on www.urbandivercities.eu

Diversity in the classroom: Diverse Cities educational programme The Diverse Cities educational programme was developed as part of the DIVERCITIES research project. DIVERCITIES conducted research and findings have been translated into an educational programme for classroom activities in schools. The educational programme gives students the opportunity to conduct research on diversity within their own community. Students are introduced to neighbourhood-initiatives from around the world which, using diversity as an asset, aim to make cities more liveable and harmonious.

Definition of Diversity A broad definition of diversity is used in the DIVERCITIES project. The principal idea is that cities are not only diversified in terms of demographics, ethnicity and socio-economic status, but also within specific groups with respect to lifestyles, attitudes and activities. Students will be working with this broad definition of diversity in this educational programme.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME: DIVERSE CITIES4

The Diverse Cities educational programme consists of assignments that give students opportunities to learn about different aspects of diversity. Students design and conduct research in the classroom and within the school neighbourhood about how apparent diversity is. Based on their own research, students propose a neighbourhood-initiative that aims to make the neighbourhood more liveable and harmonious. Inspiration for this final assignment comes from examples of neighbourhood projects from cities around the world.

Learning objectives • Students are able to recognise diversity with respect to culture, lifestyles, socio-economic

status, attitudes and activities in the classroom and in the school neighbourhood;

• Students understand that diversity can have both positive and negative effects on the livability of cities and neigbourhoods;

• Students are able to design and conduct research in the school environment. They are able to formulate a research question, gather relevant information and present their findings.

• Students learn about neighbourhood initiatives aimed at increasing the liveability of neigbourhoods. Students are able to substantiate their opinions by determining the strengths and weaknesses and the initiatives that are most appealing to them.

• Students are able to develop a proposal for a neighbourhood-initiative using the given criteria (target group, neighbourhood needs and practicalities). They are able to substantiate how their initiative connects to the diversity in the neighbourhood and how it contributes to liveability.

Target group and subject Lessons are designed for students aged 12-15 years. Subject areas include geography, social studies or citizenship.

Organisation The programme consists of five assignments. A project teaching plan is included for each assignment with information on how to use them in practice. The total programme of five assignments will take up about four regular lessons (50-60 minutes per lesson) or between four to six hours when planned as project work.

As a teacher you can choose to use part of the programme, for example, to use only the research assignments (first three assignments) or just the design assignment (last two assignments).

Share your students’ results! The DIVERCITIES research team is very interested to know of the outcomes from your neighbourhood research and proposals for neighbourhood projects by your students. We would greatly appreciate it if you would share your students’ results with us via email: [email protected] or through the DIVERCITIES website.

Overview of assignments Assignment 1 – What makes you special?

In preparation for the first lesson, students complete assignment one. In this assignment students explain who they are and what makes them unique using words and images.

Assignment 2 – Unique or not? (linked to assignment 1) Students compare their results. What similarities and differences are there between the students? The wider meaning of the word ‘diversity’ becomes evident.

Assignment 3 – Neighbourhood Research A research challenge is presented to students: The city council would like to invest in the neighbourhood of the school. The neighbourhood should become a better place to live in as a result of this investment. Through undertaking research students will try to find the identity of the neighbourhood through examples of diversity found in the neighbourhood. What is characteristic of the school’s neighbourhood? What characterises the people who live here?

Assignment 4 – Neighbourhoods in action In cities all over the world there are projects to help make neighbourhoods nicer places to live in. In doing so, city councils and organisations try to help people feel more at home in the neighbourhood giving inhabitants opportunities to get to know each other, especially in neighbourhoods with a wide diversity of people. Maybe this diversity is what can inspire people allowing them to learn from each other?

Assignment 5 – Action in the neighbourhood (linked to assignment 4) In their research students have obtained an image of the school neighbourhood. As a proposal to the city council they need to come up with a neighbourhood initiative. How will they achieve heightened solidarity for the inhabitants and the neighbourhood in general? What activity(ies) fits this neighbourhood best? What is the best activity according to the students suggestions?

Materials • PowerPoint presentation (slides 1-5)

• Activity hand-out ‘What makes you special?’ (1 per student)

Introduction (Teacher) Scientists conduct research in cities and neighbourhoods worldwide. In the following lessons you will be working as researchers focussing on the school neighbourhood. In lessons and assignments you will find answers to the following questions:

• What is the meaning of the word diversity?

• How is diversity visible in the school neighbourhood?

• What do people and institutions do to make neighbourhoods more liveable places for inhabitants?

To find an answer to these questions you will be conducting research in the school neighbourhood. Before you can begin this research, you will need to research yourself: What makes you special? Who is in your class?

Homework assignment In preparation for lesson one students undertake the assignment What makes you special? The results from this assignment will be used in the following lesson.

• Activity hand-out ‘Unique or not?’ What makes you special?’ (1 per group of 4 students)

Introduction (Teacher) In the ‘What makes you special?’ assignment each student has shown what is characteristic for them. In the next assignment you will find out what similarities and differences there are between you. We will find out just how diverse this class is.

Assignment (groups of 4)

Students complete the ‘Unique or not?’ assignment:

• They present the results of the ‘What makes you special?’ assignment

• They list the most evident similarities and differences

• They determine how diverse this class is

Wrap-up and discuss (whole group)

One student from each group presents their findings:

• What was most surprising to them?

• What similarities did they find?

• How is diversity apparent in the class?

List the answers: what are the aspects that make students similar or different?

How diverse is this class?

(Consider: culture, religion, habits, clothing, hobbies, lifestyle, age etc.)

Conclusion Diversity = Differences between people in relation to culture, religion, habits, clothing, hobbies, lifestyle, age, wealth, jobs, ideas etc.

Core

Students will attempt to uncover the identity and diversity found in the neighbourhood. Students will form small groups answering one research question per group. What is characteristic of the school’s neighbourhood? What characterises the people who live here? Every small group presents their research and findings using a poster. The results of the small groups together will give a more complete image of the neighbourhood.

Introduction (Teacher)

Present the challenge: The city council wants to invest in the school’s neighbourhood. The aim is for the neighbourhood to become a nicer place to live in through this investment. Through the assignment students will help the council by developing ideas that cater to what the neighbourhood needs. Initially the city council wants to know more about the neighbourhood. Show this by designing a poster about the neighbourhood.

Activating pre-knowledge (whole group)

How would you describe the neighbourhood to someone from out of town?

What is the name of the neighbourhood where the school is situated?

What is already known about this neighbourhood?

What kind of people live there?

What is characteristic about this neighbourhood?

Instruction (whole group) In the assignment ‘What makes you special?’ you showed what makes you unique. This can also be done for a neighbourhood. You will now get to work as researchers to demonstrate what is characteristic for the school’s neighbourhood and its inhabitants.

Core

Students are introduced to neighbourhood projects from several cities. What appeals to the students most and what is least appealing? Could any of these projects have a place in their own neighbourhood?

Introduction (Teacher) In cities all over the world there are projects that help to make neighbourhoods nicer places to live in. City councils and organisations try to help people feel more at home in the neighbourhood and provide inhabitants opportunities to get to know each other, especially in neighbourhoods with a wide diversity of people. Can this diversity inspire people and help them to learn from each other?

In this lesson you will learn about various neighbourhood projects in different cities. Which ones appeals most to the students and which ones the least? Which of those could have a place in the schools’ neighbourhood?

Activating pre-knowledge (whole group)

• Do students know of any projects in the school’s or in their own surrounding neighbourhood aimed at bringing inhabitants closer together?

• Have students ever actively joined such a project?

• Who are these projects intended for?

• What is the aim of these neighbourhood projects?

Assignment (groups of 4)

Students complete the assignment ‘Neighbourhoods in Action’.

Wrap-up and discuss (whole group)

One student from each group briefly shares with the whole group what they have found:

Which project appealed most? Why?

Which project appealed least? Why?

Which project would fit in the school’s neighbourhood? Why?

Young people between 6 and 30 years old can attend lessons here in street-dance, theatre or music for a year. They can also sing together in a choir.

This allows them to further develop their talents. For a small contribution they can attend weekly lessons in a specially refurbished centre in the neighbourhood.

Let’s Go Urban was founded by a school teacher. He felt there was not enough attention on dance, theatre and music. He wanted to offer all young people an opportunity to discover their talents. Youth who do not attend school or whose home situation does not allow spending money on dance- or music classes are eligible to attend. In this way he wants to bring youth together and give them the opportunity to develop self-confidence. 800 youth attend one of the lessons at Let’s Go Urban weekly.

An empty lot in the middle of the city’s neighbourhood. There is now a neighbourhood garden where every inhabitant can grow vegetables on their own piece of land. Many families from the neighbourhood share a piece of the garden and work there together. There are other activities there in the summer as well. Films are shown and neighbourhood parties organised.

Many inhabitants of Leonardo Street did not know each other. Through the garden people from the neighbourhood from all kinds of different backgrounds now get together there.On top of that they receive training in gardening. Pupils from neighbourhood schools are being taught about flowers, vegetables and plants in the garden. More than 300 people are actively involved with the garden.

Closing of the street to all traffic in the middle of a busy neighbourhood in London. Inhabitants can put in a request to have their street closed to traffic for three hours per week. The street can then be used to play, practice sports or socialise.

For a lot of children and youth playing outside can be difficult. There are hardly any playgrounds, squares or sporting grounds in the neighbourhood. Play streets was founded by parents who felt all children should have the opportunity to play outside. Children and youth play in the closed off streets and parents meet with each other as well.

In the Rotterdam’s Afrikaander neighbourhood people from all over the world live together. In the neighbourhood kitchen they come together to cook. They learn how to cook each other’s dishes enabling them to continue to grow as chefs and cooks. For a small contribution, other people from the neighbourhood can join for dinner.

The neighbourhood kitchen was started to provide people from the neighbourhood opportunity to meet. Today it is a real company. People from the neighbourhood, often without training or jobs, now have work in the kitchen. A number of chefs have even started their own catering business. They not only cook for the neighbourhood kitchen, but also for weddings and other parties.

A place of their own for youth from 13 to 30 years old. The Spot is in a neighbourhood where people from all over the world live. At The Spot youth from very different background come together to chill out. The dangers of drug use are discussed. Violence and drugs are major issues in this neighbourhood.

Youth came up with the idea of The Spot themselves. In The Spot they help each other. New young people in the neighbourhood are linked to someone who has been living there longer. This allows them to get to know new people quickly. They also learn about the neighbourhood and especially the dangers that can be found there.

A real soccer competition offered for free. Anyone can put together a team and enlist for this competition. Youth from completely different backgrounds are able to meet this way. The organisation provides pitches. The teams decide on the rules they use during the match, as there is no referee.

Practicing sports at a sports club costs a lot of money. For some youth in Zurich it is too costly to join a sports club. Through this free competition all youngsters, including those from poorer families, can start their own team. They take care of training and which rules to apply themselves. In this way they learn to cooperate and organise activities themselves.
