http://www.aulaintercultural.org<br />

This is a portal for intercultural education, where we can find interesting digital <strong>to</strong>ols for<br />

intervention, a digital library that includes different articles <strong>and</strong> experiences, <strong>and</strong><br />

didactic <strong>to</strong>ols against racism <strong>and</strong> xenophobia. In this module, we believe it would be<br />

interesting <strong>to</strong> consult the didactic unit Your Neighborhood, a Thous<strong>and</strong> Different Faces<br />

(Tu barrio, mil rostros diferentes), by REDPAZ (Network for Education <strong>and</strong> Research<br />

for Peace, Red de Educación e Investigación para la Paz), House of Peace (Casa de la<br />

Paz), Seville. This is a proposal for working on intercultural education in the classroom;<br />

specifically, interesting activities are suggested for bringing students <strong>to</strong>gether <strong>with</strong> the<br />

different cultures that coexist in their cities. Plural coexistence is fomented through<br />

games <strong>and</strong> values, <strong>and</strong> empathy is encouraged, as well as critical <strong>and</strong> creative analysis<br />

experiences for resolving intercultural dilemmas.<br />

http://portal.unesco.org<br />

Page of the United Nations Organization for Education, Science, <strong>and</strong> Culture. Here we<br />

can find a lot of information on a wide range of areas: Education, Social <strong>and</strong> Human<br />

Sciences, Technologies... Of all the subjects dealt <strong>with</strong>, the most interesting for this<br />

module are the Cultural Diversity <strong>and</strong> Intercultural Dialogue links. There are interesting<br />

events, breaking news, <strong>and</strong> recent publications on the subject, in addition <strong>to</strong> interesting<br />

resources that can be used in the classroom or in informal educational spaces.<br />

Similarly, this page offers resources regarding cultural diversity, incorporating<br />

experiences from all the countries of the world. The cultural wealth of the world is its<br />

dialoguing diversity. With this philosophy, we can find different resources on this web<br />

page: innovations, projects, convocations, activities, events, <strong>and</strong> even contacts <strong>with</strong><br />

professionals <strong>and</strong> institutions that will enrich our everyday experience. Consult the<br />

pages of the different offices in Spain, Madrid, Catalonia, Andalusia, because very<br />

different information can be found on the different pages.<br />

www.sosracismo.org<br />

The association sosracism (sosracismo) fights for human rights <strong>and</strong> anti-racism. The<br />

web page offers ideas <strong>and</strong> resources for denouncing, reflecting on, <strong>and</strong> initiating<br />

actions against xenophobia <strong>and</strong> racism in their different manifestations. <strong>It</strong> is a good<br />

example of how <strong>to</strong> deal <strong>with</strong> racism <strong>and</strong> how <strong>to</strong> unite <strong>with</strong> others in this struggle. Some<br />

of the terri<strong>to</strong>rial sections of the association include documents that can be used <strong>with</strong><br />

teenagers <strong>and</strong> young people. You can contact <strong>with</strong> the section that corresponds <strong>to</strong> your<br />
