The figure shows 4 different combinations of preserving one's culture and adapting to the host society. All these processes are always two-sided. Both the dominant culture and the ethnic minority participate in the intercultural space and adopt the posture that suits them best. Both groups should adapt and change. But unfortunately, power is not evenly distributed between the groups, which brings its own dynamics to each society.

Task no.3

Evidence verified by: one activity organiser

An ethnic community identifies itself, or is identified by others, as a group of people linked by a common culture and other factors such as language, shared history, cohesion and religion.
Ethnic discrimination is different and usually worse treatment of a person from a particular ethnic group, based on ethnic origin. Discrimination occurs in all areas, including schooling, finding housing, finding a job and then at work, accessing services, including healthcare. As a result of discrimination, persons belonging to ethnic minorities suffer from multiple consequences, including poverty, poorer health, lower education and substandard living conditions. All this is accompanied by a low level of participation in decision-making processes at local and national levels.
Do you know someone from an ethnic minority? How do you talk to young people about ethnic discrimination?
