A supermarket in Hamburg, Germany, emptied shelves of all foreign-made produce to help people think about racism.
Shoppers at Edeka store were able to see how many goods were made outside of Germany, and many shelves were empty. The shop put up signs saying, "This shelf is pretty boring without diversity."
A spokesperson from Edeka said, "Edeka stands for variety and diversity. In our stores we sell numerous foods which are produced in the various regions of Germany. But only together with products from other countries is it possible to create the unique variety that our customers value."
What do you see in the picture?
Where do you think the photo was taken?
Why do you think the shelves are empty?
Explain the story
- Why do you think Edeka did this?
- What did this show their shopppers?
- What does the sign about the boring shelf mean?
- Where does the food that we buy come from? Does it all come from England?
- Why don't shops in England sell only food that is made in England, and shops in Germany sell only food that was is made in Germany?
- What does this demonstrate about different people around the world and how we live together?
- Some people think that if we have different skin or live in different places or have different faith, that we can't get along. What do we say in our school?
- What can we learn from Edeka?
- Why is this story about No Outsiders?
