Introduction

Hoe kijk jij naar de wereld? Speciaal voor Wereldburgerschap heeft Museum Volkenkunde een route gemaakt. Ga met jouw klas naar het museum en ontdek meer over geloof en identiteit. In maximaal negen teams van twee à drie personen gaan jullie langs drie continenten: Azië, Afrika en Midden- en Zuid-Amerika. Door middel van geluidsfragmenten en quiz-, sleep-, open- en fotovragen leer jij meer over de diversiteit van de wereld. Daarnaast zie je meer van het museum. Let op: Het is noodzakelijk om een groep aan te melden als je deze route met je klas wil doen. Dit kan via: 088-0042830 of e-mail naar: [e-mail].

Find these shackles from an enslaved person.

In the museum we use 'enslaved' instead of 'slave'.

Why does the museum do this? Discuss this with each other.

These are shackles from an enslaved person.

Colonists tried to see African people as goods and not as individuals. The enslaved were chained with these shackles and traded. Because of this they were dehumanized and robbed of their identity.

Colonists are people who settle in a new country.

There were about 12 to 14 million people enslaved and shipped to America.

What does freedom mean to you?

Share your opinion with your team and write down your answer.

Een vraag over identiteit zou ik eventueel ook nog mooi vinden, zoals:

Op welke manier is de identiteit van de tot slaaf gemaakte afgenomen?

De vraag is dan... is dit een open vraag? Of een quizvraag? En is er dan maar één antwoord goed? (Nee!)

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Netherlands earned a lot of money from the trade and exploitation of enslaved people. This seems like a long time ago, but still has an effect on the present. The appearance of Black Pete, for example, is probably based on the stereotype of black people in the 19th century.

A stereotype is a fixed image of something or someone that does not accurately reflect reality.
