This activity helps participants to understand how assumptions are made based on ideas of ‘national culture’. It seeks to help them reflect on the source of these assumptions, the validity or lack of in their use and how they lead to stereotypes, prejudice and can fuel racism. It should help them understand how notions of a national culture are used by powerful groups to promote an ‘us and them’ (with ‘us’ generally being seen as superior). It could also lead to understanding the concept of ‘othering’.
