4 Life 
Hari is the new kid on the block. He's looking forward to starting college and making friends.
Life is looking pretty good... that is, until he encounters a racist gang who are terrorising the neighbourhood.
Major social issues, like racism or gender discrimination, cannot be viewed in black 'n' white. We all have the capability to be perpetrators as well as be potential targets of hurtful acts.
Many people are singled out unjustly - because of the colour of their skin, or their sex, their religion, or because of disability - and subjected to acts of discrimination or violence.
According to the British Crime Survey, in 1999 there were 280,000 racially motivated incidents.
Step into Hari's shoes and see if you can help him make some difficult, perhaps controversial, choices.
Aims:
During this activity students will consider racism and bullying. They reflect on different situations in which they might see or hear bullying and racist behaviour. After completing the activity and accompanying worksheet, students should be able to:- Identify racist and discriminatory behaviour
- Understand the consequences of racism and bullying on individuals and society
- Devise strategies to help challenge racism, discrimination and stereotypes
- Recognise the importance of mutual respect and understanding within a diverse society
