ELMER : a story about respect, enrichment and tolerance David Mc. Kee “Elmer e l’arcobaleno” Ed. Mondadori

ELMER STORY Elmer is a multicolor elephant, who feels its diversity among grey elephants. At last everybody realizes its diversity and accepts him. Elmer diversity represents an enrichment for all the elephants!!!. . .

HO INVENTATO UNA MACCHINA POTENTE CHE LEGGE DENTRO GLI OCCHI DELLA GENTE SI VEDONO I PENSIERI PIU’ SEGRETI SE PENSI AD UN SORRISO O FAI PENSIERI LIETI SI VEDE QUEL CHE PENSI VERAMENTE SE TROVI IL MONDO BRUTTO O DIVERTENTE!

As Aretha Franklin sang in her song RESPECT, we start our project following her suggestion: “…R-E-S-P-E-C-T …” find outwhat it means All I’m asking is for a little respect… Just a litlle bit, just a little bit…

Tolerance and respect mean magnanimity and patience. Tolerance is sign of respect and consideration for others. It is a virtue. Tolerance and respect make a person develop wider vision. Indeed, developing tolerance is not easy but worth trying. Once you have learnt the art of loving and giving, you can easily be tolerant and respectful. Never discriminate people for reasons of religion, caste and creed, better…

…NEVER DISCRIMINATE FOR ANY REASONS!

So, as tolerance and respect mean also being open and receptive to the beauty of different cultures, we realized that the great POWER of our classroom has six names: Andrei from Romania, Alessandra from Philippines, Nadia from Tunisia, Gianluca C. and Gianluca M. from Perù and Jasmin from Bangladesh Six people who have enriched and enlarged our Knowledge. And, as Benjamin Franklin says “KNOWLEDGE IS POWER”.

We talked about different celebrations, food, clothes, music and… …that’s the result! We created our “slide-poster”

• Differences enrich us, the experience of each individual helps us to grow and learn more, it does not matter that he/she was born at 10 m from our house or 2000 km or more. What matters is that he/she is a card of that wonderful mosaic we call WORLD

Thanks to the other and through the other, we realized the importance of each of us and, although sometimes difficult, we understood it’s better…

Thank you so much COMENIUS because you gave us the opportunity to think it over! See you next time! Love, I. C. “G. Palombini”
