About This Digital Adventure
| Purpose | Strengthens learners’ ability to recognise and respond to dehumanising narratives about migrants, preventing the normalisation of exclusion and reducing social polarisation. |
| Core Approach | Focuses on bystander responsibility, the power of language, and non-violent intervention in spaces where silence often allows harm to spread. |
Scenario Overview
| Context | In a local online group or community forum, a post about housing, jobs, or public services triggers comments that use dehumanising language about migrants. |
| Key Challenge | Deciding how to respond when harmful narratives are repeated publicly and no one intervenes. |
| Learner Choices | Ignore • Intervene quietly • Speak publicly • Support those affected |
Core Peacebuilding Lessons
| Lesson | What Learners Practice |
|---|---|
| Dehumanising Language Normalises Harm | Recognising how labels and framing reduce people to problems and justify exclusion. |
| Silence Is a Social Signal | Understanding how inaction communicates permission and enables harm to spread. |
| Intervention Has Many Forms | Exploring public, private, collective, and structural responses and when each is appropriate. |
Key Peacebuilding Takeaways
| Takeaway | Learning Focus |
|---|---|
| Narratives Shape Belonging | Analysing how repeated messages influence fear, trust, and who feels safe in a community. |
| Bystanders Shape Norms | Recognising the power of those who watch — not just those who post or attack. |
| Care and Resistance Go Together | Balancing support for affected people with actions that challenge harmful narratives. |
Reflection & Discussion Questions
| Key Questions | Why do dehumanising narratives spread so easily online? What makes speaking up feel risky in polarised spaces? When is silence protective, and when is it harmful? How can harmful narratives be challenged without escalating conflict? |
