In Groot-Britannie, althans:
Pupils asked to see bombers' point of view Teaching pack says students should understand terror attacks from bombers' perspective Pupils are being asked to put themselves inside the minds of the 7/7 bombers to understand the motives of terrorists. A government-endorsed teaching pack suggests secondary schools ask pupils to do a presentation on the 7 July London terror attacks from the bombers' perspective. The attacks, in 2005, killed 52 of the capital's commuters and injured 700 others. The pack, called Things Do Change, was developed in West Yorkshire, home to three of the 7/7 bombers: Siddique Khan, Shezad Tanweer and Hasib Hussain. Its author, Sail Suleman, told the Times Educational Supplement that schools should not shy away from asking pupils to think about what turns people into extremists. She said: "Radicals, extremists and fundamentalists come in all different forms. Is it right? Is it wrong? Is it justified? Was it pressure from individuals they were hanging out with? Hopefully, we'll encourage pupils to stay away from those individuals." The department for children, schools and families (DCSF) recommends the pack to teachers as part of its online guidance on how schools can help tackle extremism. The pack is designed for use by 11- to 19-year-olds in their classes on multicultural Britain and emphasises the similarities between communities, rather than their differences. Among those who have used it are madrassas and mosques in West Yorkshire, schools in Birmingham, Sandwell and Lancashire and police forces in London Thames Valley and Greater Manchester. But Don Rowe, head of curriculum development at the Citizenship Foundation, said some teachers might find it difficult to ask their pupils to put themselves into the minds of extremists. He said: "It's quite a complicated, ambitious question to ask. I certainly wouldn't expect anyone who wasn't confident in this area to barge in with this sort of material. "Many form tutors are asked to address some of these issues without proper training. But you need additional information about different forms of Islam, for example. Otherwise, there's a danger that all Muslims will be bunched together." The pack also suggests teachers ask pupils to imagine what effect 7/7 might have had on British Muslims, non-Muslim Asians, and the rest of the population. http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/...-teaching-pack Is dit wel de juiste aanpak? Wordt er mee bereikt wat ze denken te bereiken of denk je dat het juist ze aanspoort om zich zo radicaal te gaan gedragen? Als jij leraar was, hoe zou jij dit onderwerp aanpakken/bespreken?

'Bombers' school pack withdrawn
The educational pack aimed to tackle the issues of extremism and violence The government has apologised for causing offence as it withdrew a school pack asking pupils to think about the 7 July attacks from the bombers' view. The new teaching pack, launched by Calderdale Council in West Yorkshire, had been recommended by ministers as a way of addressing controversial issues. One module suggests students could prepare a presentation on the 7/7 bombings from the bombers' perspective. The government has admitted the pack was "misguided and inappropriate". The resource, called "Things Do Change", looks at life in multicultural Britain and the issues of extremism and terrorism. 'Good citizen' The first module examines all faiths and the "golden rule" of treating others equally. A later module focuses specifically on the 7 July bombings and the impact on different communities in Britain. It also suggests pupils could look at the attacks, which were carried out by four men with West Yorkshire links, from the perspective of Muslims in Britain, non-Muslim Asians in Britain and other Britons in general. Author Sail Khan Suleman had earlier said it asks: "Is religion the problem or the solution?" He added: "What the pack will do is create an environment whereby discussions surrounding forms of extremism can take place; people will understand what it is to become a good citizen." But a spokesman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families, said: "While the resource in no way looks to justify or excuse the terrible events of 7/7, and is designed to educate against violent extremism, we appreciate that it may not be appropriate for use in schools. "It's important young people discuss these difficult and controversial issues in a controlled environment but, in this case, ministers apologise for any offence caused." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/e...re/7901312.stm

Kan me er best iets bij voorstellen.
Als ik zelf Palestijn was, zou ik waarschijnlijk ook bij Hamas zitten, of een andere terreur-groep. De manier waarop Israel de Palestijnen behandelt is onvergeeflijk. Geen normaal mens voelt zich er niet door geraakt. Hoe zou jij je voelen als er naast je huis opeens een muur van 8 meter hoog gebouwd wordt, of een lang prikkeldraadhek, omdat anderen terreuraanslagen hebben gepleegd? Hoe zou jij je voelen als telkens wanneer je door een joodse wijk in Israel loopt, je voelt hoe mensen naar je kijken en een beetje bang zijn als ze je met een zware rugzak zien lopen? Als mensen huiverig kijken als ze je Arabisch horen spreken? Er zal pas vrede komen wanneer Israelis het leven van een Palestijn begrijpen, en omgekeerd. Misschien zouden de we rollen eens een weekje om moeten draaien. Daarna is er binnen een dag of twee een eeuwigdurend vredesakkoord. Een beetje wederzijds begrip en het wederzijds vergeven van de begane misdaden is alles dat nodig is voor echte vrede. |
