The girls engaged in open and informative discussions about international friendships, sharing their experiences and discovering the diverse perspectives that enrich our school community. We also addressed the delicate topic of microaggressions, those seemingly harmless comments or behaviors that can have a negative impact on the targeted individuals.
At the end of the conversation, students were invited to reflect on their own experiences by responding to a questionnaire. The central question was, “What microaggressions have you personally dealt with or witnessed?” This encouraged our girls to share their experiences, raise awareness among their peers, and contribute to creating a more inclusive school environment.
