John is a youth worker at the local youth club. He works with a group of twenty boys and girls from the local area. Many of these young people come from different countries and have various cultural backgrounds. As part of a project, John decides to ask the young people to partake in an activity to get them to find out about the importance of learning about each other's cultures. To start this off, John asks the young people to each write down the first thing they think of when asked about the other group members' cultures.

When John carried out this exercise, he was shocked at how unaware and false some of these beliefs and perceptions were when he read them. John identified that most of these young people have suffered and are susceptible to being culturally biased. John decides that before they start this project, he needs to educate the young people more about culture.
