COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Recommendations
Education on Racial Awareness
Programs
to
improve
racial
awareness must be implemented at all
levels. As seen in figure 8, awareness
campaigns were favoured most by
respondents. We could collaborate
with community organisations and
social influencers to implement
creative and innovative long-term
programs to promote greater
understandings of others amongst
students. Examples include working
with popular social influencers such as
Preetipls to highlight the negative
Indian stereotypes and plan follow up
activities to engage individuals on
their personal negative racial
stereotypes to eradicate it.
These would primarily be aimed at
students aged 7 and above. We hope to
see students demonstrate greater
appreciation for others. This could be
gauged through brief quizzes as well
as presentations by the students on
their understanding of different races
and cultures. Due to the sensitive
nature of the topic, it may be difficult
to find community organisations and
social influencers to support this
initiative.
