The focus of this project is the mechanism who stands behind the discrimination.

This is your chance to reflect on your personal stereotypes, which are an authomatic and unavoidable process, and how they influence your perspective.

Goals

Raise awareness about the process of social categorisation: a set of mental operations that help us to simplify the reality and allow us to perceive the world around us

Encourage the self-reflection of stereotypes and prejudices: think about how we use prejudices in our daily lives and how the activation of stereotypes can change the reality by producing specific behaviour and attitudes.
