Romania is home to over 20 recognised ethnic minorities
▼
Cultural diversity is a lived daily reality in Romania - over 20 recognised ethnic minorities live, work, and go to school across the country. This means classrooms like yours often already include a rich mix of languages, traditions, and celebrations.
🇪🇺
The EU is built on "unity in diversity"
▼
"United in Diversity" is the official motto of the European Union. It reflects the idea that 27 countries, hundreds of languages, and countless traditions can work together while each keeps its own identity - the same idea that makes a diverse classroom work.
🏫
A school Cultural Exchange Day
▼
One European school organises an annual "Cultural Exchange Day" where students bring food, music, and stories from their family backgrounds to share with the whole school. Teachers report it's one of the days students most look forward to each year.

Bridge to Task 7 - What Would You Propose?
"You now know the values and the rights behind coexistence. Let's go back to your case study from Task 4 - what would you actually propose?"
What happens in Task 6
A 7-minute Phase 3 - Investigation activity. Two informational slides (the five democratic values; the rights at stake in cultural-diversity situations), three expandable real-world example cards (Romania's ethnic minorities, the EU motto, a school Cultural Exchange Day), five tappable key terms, and a reflection field.
🎯 Learning objectives
O2 - Identify examples of cultural diversity from Romania and Europe. O3 - Explain why respecting cultural differences matters in a democratic society. Students discover through case study analysis that the same democratic values appear across very different cultural contexts.
