"Man borde kanske prata med de man tycker illa om" - tre elevgruppers arbete mot rasism

Sammanfattning: The aim was to investigate three anti-racist groups of pupils, their thoughts about respectively their work against racism. The aim was divided into the following questions: - What is, according to the groups, racism and what does the situation look like at the schools? - What does the dynamics in the group look like? - What courses of action are the groups using and how can they improve their work? - How can the groups be described according to the terms work group and basic assumption group? To answer these questions I made three group interviews, one with each group. I analysed the results partly according to earlier research and literature, partly according to the group theory of WR Bion, using the terms work group and basic assumption group. My conclusion is that the word racism seems to have been affected by inflation, since the groups include bullying as well as anti-racists. It's difficult to say if the groups have reached success or not since, in spite of the efforts towards the whole school, only a limited amount of pupils have chosen to join the groups. To really make a difference it is important that both pupils and staff cooperate.
