'Making my Own Health Choices' |

Day Five (April)

'What Makes Me, Me?' |
| This Conference Day
encourages pupils to explore cultural identity. At the start
of the day, pupils are asked to consider 'What makes me, me?'
They reflect on their relationships, beliefs, hobbies, and their
aspirations. Pupils then examine the issue of Identity Cards,
considering arguments 'for' and 'against' their introduction.
|
| Pupils will also
examine some of the stereotypes associated with being British,
comparing these with the reality of pupils' experiences. Pupils
also examine the different groups of people who have settled
in Britain and reflect upon how they have shaped life in Britain. |
|
In the afternoon pupils will have the unique opportunity to
hear, first hand, the experiences of people who work with people
seeking asylum, and those who have had to leave their home.
Pupils are encouraged to reflect upon their own attitudes, and
how these may have changed or developed as a result of the day's
activities. |
