The Aims

The Media Initiative for Children Respecting Difference aims to:

• Increase awareness of diversity and difference issues
  in Northern Ireland among children aged 3-5, their parents and teachers.
• Help young children to understand
  what it feels like to be excluded and encourage them to be more willing to include children who are different from themselves.
• Encourage young children to demonstrate respect
  and the active inclusion of others who are different, rather than ridiculing, fighting or rejecting them.
• Make Respecting Difference
  a very real experience for young children and something that can be shared with their families.
