Cultural Horizons of Wisconsin[series info]

Look Again

When the children enter the Exploratorium, they are surprised to find Miss White welding. This sparks a conversation about stereotypes. To learn more about how to dispel stereotypes, the children meet Jennifer, who is helping her friend Rene prepare for and compete in the Special Olympics. Then, the children learn about an intercultural program in Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin, that brings together young people from different cultural backgrounds to play games and engage in other activities. Featured is a theater group called Native Roots, which puts on a performance that fosters understanding about Ojibwe culture. The final segment illustrates the power of open discussion among young people of different races.
