Today is hot and clear. We have arrived at Elba island and are moored far enough from the island to have a beautiful view of the coast facing us. This morning we presented an activity focusing on discrimination. The method is called image theater and required the group to create an image/scene portraying discrimination. Using fellow team mates, the group sculpted the human models into a realistic, but discriminatory image. Once the mental picture was secured in the minds of the group, they re-sculpted the image of discrimination/hate into one of acceptance/equality. The act of physically changing the posture and expressions of others is a powerful reminder of how we must work to change _our_ own views (and even our posture and expression) to stop the message of hate and discrimination existing in our world. Pictured below: 3 images of discrimination and 1 image of acceptance and equality.
