interaction and friendship development with young people from different racial and ethnic backgrounds

diversitätsorientiertes Lernen

In a segregated society, many young people grow up not ever having had meaningful and sustained interaction with someone of a different racial background. As such, many of the young people first needed to develop the confidence and comfort level to truly engage with others. Many youth described the importance of this kind of space, a space where they could interact with young people from different racial and ethnic backgrounds and even develop friendships.

Intergroup Dialogues Program
The 8-week summer program brings together young people of African, Asian, European, Latino/a, and Middle Eastern descent across city and suburb to dialogue on issues of race and ethnicity. Youth engagement and learning about race in a group setting includes a youth-led participatory program evaluation. The case study offers insights on the learning experience and context of youth engagement in community-based intergroup dialogues. Themes include (1) discussing race, (2) learning skills to communicate across different races, (3) grappling with privilege and oppression, and (4) developing leadership.
