Hi everyone. I wanted to ask your opinions about a topic that I want to invite you to reflect about. I am from Colombia, in preschool education when students see colors they learn that there is one called "skin color" (color piel in spanish). This happens even in international schools and I do not agree with that. I consider that this preconcept is not one that represents the international mindness and the IB phylosophy. I also consider it even danger because students have less posibility to represent their own identity and it can also feed racial discrimination. Maybe there are more reasons, but I want to read your opinions. Does this happen in your countries too? Do you consider it a logical identification? Do you think it is something with no importance?
I will be glad to know more points of view. This is the "skin color" I am talking about.
