Belonging: The Search for Acceptance
Study Guide
Beth Porter, M.A. & Greg Rogers, M.E.D.
We may think our deepest need is to be loved. Jean Vanier argues that even deeper and more universal is our desire to belong.
(Spiral-bound booklet; L'Arche Canada Foundation, 2003; Revised 2008; Pp40) Belonging: The Search for Acceptance supports a variety of senior secondary school curricula related to human and societal behaviors and relationships including social sciences, ethics and religious studies, celebrating both the dignity and diversity of humanity. The material challenges students to reflect upon the beliefs they have that are associated with appearance, disabilities, family structures, gender, race, culture, and socio-economic status. It sensitively encourages people to rethink the vision they hold for the world and to adopt a new vision that promotes the ideal that every human being is beloved, has significant value, and should be recognized as important. By doing so, this resource indicates ways of addressing bias and inclusion issues. The video and study guide will engage students in a rich array of learning activities that develop understanding, promote awareness, and heighten sensitivity to issues surrounding belonging, acceptance, community building, and leadership.
