Purpose of the teaching package:

Racism is taught at a young age, often at school. Thererfore, it’s necessary to safely teach children about this topic. In this teaching package, ‘Hanky Panky Shanghai’ is used as an example to learn about racism and discrimination. Additionally, students will be taught to recognise discrimination and racism and to report this.

What does the teaching package entail?

• Lessons for primary schools (groep 7 and 8), but can be used for other age groups based on your own assessment.
• Five lessons.
• The educator is free to determine the interval between the five lessons.
• The time spent on each lesson is up to the teacher.
• A suggestion about the interval between and time spent on each lesson is included.
