The approach of emotional deactivation of prejudice

Abstract

The aim of the approach of emotional deactivation is to help students reduce the prejudice they may feel towards diverse social groups. Be those groups homosexuals, people living with a disability or immigrants, the victims of prejudice are invited to come into classrooms and to confront the preconceptions that students have in their respect. Students thereby acquire a greater capacity to interact while respecting differences.
