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.
