This BBC Campaign Gets Adorable to Show How Prejudice Isn't Innate
Diverse Pairs of Friends Show How Inclusive Children Can Be
Editor's Pick
Diversity isn't just an issue for the workplace: it's equally important in the playground, according to a new campaign for BBC's children's channel, CBeebies.
Agency Karmarama asked pairs of friends to talk about their differences. Although many of the duos appear quite different to the viewer -- whether because of gender, skin color, or level of physical ability - the kids struggle to come up with anything that really sets them apart from each other.
"Lucy loves tomato sauce. I do like it but I don't love it as much as Lucy," is the best that one pair can come up with. Others live on different roads, or might have a preference for cucumber over apple, but they would rather just get on and play than dwell on their differences.
Nic Studzinski, chief creative officer at Karmarama, said in a statement, "To their great credit, young children are more open-minded and inclusive than adults. It's hard-wired into them. All prejudice is learned behavior, something that develops as we get older."
