Good traditions, bad traditions (30mins)

Let's discuss the various traditional practices in Nigeria and differentiate which ones are harmful and which ones are not.

You can do this in groups. Each group takes one of these categories:
  • Traditional practices they consider healthy in their communities.
  • Traditional practices they consider harmful in their communities.
Within the group have a short brainstorm and try to come up with some examples and explain why. Share the outcome with the other group.

Questions:
  • Did you find any traditions that belong to both categories?
  • What did you learn from this exercise?
