How do we turn Xenophobia into Xenophilia?
Description
We need to understand what Xenophobia really is. It is naivety. It is a lack of knowledge. It is previous limited experience that may not represent the whole. It is not knowing the truth!
On the other hand Xenophilia means the sympathy we have for a stranger. An affection for unknown/foreign objects, manners, cultures or people. It is time to love the differences. It is time to see the benefits in the differences. It is time to educate the xenophobia out of people and help people see how valuable being connected to different cultures truly is.
In this podcast we will explore these concepts and talk about ways that we can create a new generation that values this more. Our education systems must teach through exposing learners to diverse perspectives. If we understand then adjust our thinking then our behaviours can be more appropriate and effective.
