Yawtown Colour

About this resource

This resource, “Yawtown Colour,” encourages students to reflect on the concept of diversity through the fictional town of Yawtown, where people are identified by different colours. It helps students explore themes of identity, inclusion, and the impact of superficial differences on community dynamics. Through creative exercises, students are prompted to consider how stereotypes can arise and lead to exclusion or division. Activities within the resource encourages age empathy, helping students understand that diversity can enrich communities rather than divide them. The exercises are designed to provoke thoughtful discussions on the significance of respect and understanding in multicultural societies, making it suitable for both primary and students.
