What do you see here, where do you think it is, what do you notice about the shelves?
Do you recognise the language on the sign?
A supermarket in Hamburg, Germany, emptied shelves of all foreign-made produce.
Why do you think they did that?
What was the impact of taking out all foods not made in Germany?
They did it for a day to help people think about racism.
Why is this 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."
Why put that sign up?
What are the shop trying to show their customers?
Is that a good way to start a conversation about racism?
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 think they mean by unique variety?

How can a shop stand for variety and diversity?
- 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?
