RESOURCE GUIDE On November 17, 2003, Court TV and its partners will join together to produce a live musical event at the United Nations in celebration of UNESCO's "International Day of Tolerance." Court TV and its partners have collaborated to produce an accompanying resource guide, designed for Pre-K-12th grade teachers and students. The resource guide offers classroom activities and tools for teaching and learning about the critical issues of diversity and acceptance. These important tools can also be adopted for in-home use and the after-school environment.
The We Are Family: Educating Our Children for a Safer World resource guide features a broad range of activities and messages. The lessons focus on issues and attitudes that affect youth on a daily basis, including stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination. Each activity is created by a leading education expert and has been used successfully in classrooms and after-school programs around the country. All are constructed to help children and adults work together to develop the skills and understanding that foster respect for one's self and for others. The messages contained in these materials are timeless and without boundaries. Young people around the world will surely connect with the content of this guide.
