Neighbourhood Poster
Theme: Responding to Exclusion in Shared Community Spaces
start
You’re part of a group of people planning a neighbourhood event called “Voices of Our Street” — a celebration of local cultures through music, food, and shared stories. One afternoon, while walking to the community space, Fatima notices a poster on a nearby lamppost. It reads: “Protect our streets — No to cultural flooding!” The poster has no name, but it includes a national flag symbol and a QR code. Fatima stops. She looks upset. “This feels like it’s about people like me,” she says quietly. The group goes silent. The poster raises concerns not just about the event, but about belonging and safety in the neighbourhood.

What do you do first?
Check in with Fatima and acknowledge the impact
Scan the QR code to understand the message
Document and report the poster to local authorities
Ignore it and continue planning the event
Option A – Support First You pause and ask Fatima how she’s feeling. You listen without interrupting. She explains that the poster makes her feel unwelcome and targeted.

Option B – Scan the QR Code The QR code leads to a website using vague language about “protecting identity” and “defending culture.” It avoids direct threats, but the message feels exclusionary.

As you continue walking, the conversation doesn’t return to event planning. Someone mutters, “What if others see that poster and think it represents this neighbourhood?” Another voice adds, “What if people stop feeling safe coming to the event?” No one has suggested what to do next. Fatima hasn’t spoken again. After a pause, someone says quietly: “Doing nothing feels like a choice too.” The group looks to you.

What feels like the right next step?
Remove the poster yourselves
Address inclusion openly during the event
Create space for a group conversation about safety and belonging
Option A – Remove the Poster You take the poster down.

Option B – Address Inclusion at the Event You include a short opening message at “Voices of Our Street” affirming that the neighbourhood belongs to everyone. Fatima helps shape the words.

Seeking information can help, but engaging with harmful messaging can also spread it further.
Dialogue builds resilience. Action builds confidence.
Removing harm matters, lasting peace requires deeper engagement.
Reporting can be an important step when public spaces are used to spread harmful messages. However, acting without discussion may leave some community members feeling sidelined.
Avoiding the issue may keep plans moving, but it can also unintentionally dismiss harm.
Formal action works best when paired with collective reflection and dialogue.
Peacebuilding can be creative. Publicly affirming shared values reshapes community norms.
Peacebuilding starts with care. When people feel supported, groups make wiser and more inclusive decisions.
Silence doesn’t erase harm, it often shifts the emotional burden onto those affected.
Well done. Centering the person most affected builds trust and emotional safety. Addressing harm begins with listening.
This builds understanding and shared responsibility. Pairing dialogue with visible action can strengthen trust.
Excellent choice. You turned harm into collective affirmation without escalating conflict.
This reduces immediate harm, but it doesn’t address the attitudes behind it.
Harm isn’t always loud. Coded language can still create fear, division, and exclusion.
