La Petite Mosquée dans la prairie

The Little Mosque on the Prairie in Mercy, a fictional Saskatchewan town, casts a humorous look at the difficulties faced by members of a small Muslim community as they strive to coexist peacefully with their Christian neighbours. Values and traditions clash, misunderstandings abound, and yet Mercy’s residents find ways to live their daily lives while tolerating beliefs that are different from their own. An excellent model of openness and respect, this series encourages students to reflect on the different cultures that coexist in their community and to exchange their opinions during discussions after viewing each episode: stereotypes, discrimination, beliefs and many other topics will generate interesting discussions and encourage critical thinking.
