The Gingerbread Boy

Omar feels left out and is not accepted in the class, which he cannot understand. It turns out that this may be because Omar comes from another country, Morocco, where people have a different skin colour. The Moroccan culture is somewhat different from the Swedish one. People dress according to what is common locally, and food and drink differ in many ways in taste and seasoning. If the children have not experienced anything other than the Swedish way, it is easy to become dismissive, especially if the children hear adults’ derogatory criticism. It is easier to express derogatory and racist words than to show tolerance towards each other. It is our duty as adults to teach children that equal value and inclusion are fundamental for a pleasant society where we all shall live together.
