Vision statements
Divide the students into groups of 4-5. Give each group a sheet
of flip chart paper and some markers. Explain that the groups
are going to imagine a future where equality is a reality and to
write a Vision Statement of what that would look like in their
school, their community, society and the world.
Ask the whole class to brainstorm all the words they associate
with equality and promoting equality. Write these up on the
board. Then assign groups to each of the following areas:
school, community, society, the world. Ask the groups to
choose words from the list generated by the class and to use
them to write their Vision Statement.
Finally ask each group to present its Vision Statement to the
rest of the class and display the statements in the classroom.
