Cultural Identity and Values
In national groups
What in your upbringing has shaped you?
• What characteristics do you most dislike?
• What national food do you (would you) miss most when overseas?
• What 3 characteristics do you associate with your national identity?
Scenario
A UK school has managed to bring teachers from their partnership cluster in India into the UK
at the same time as a Comenius partner meeting and the two groups are brought together.
The other partners begin to talk about some fundraising initiatives for the Indian schools and
one partner especially has a very stereotypical view of schools in the less developed world.
The UK-India partnership is founded on an equitable relationship and this philosophy is well
understood by both sides. One of the European partners says to the Indian representative;
"We are going to give your school all our old sports equipment and 4 old laptops!”
What has happened here ?
How does each of the partners feel ?
Why do they feel that way ?
What assumptions have they made ?
What other actions could they take ?
