BUILDING MULTICULTURAL FRIENDSHIPS IN A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY

On this episode of The Great Equalizer we’re celebrating F R I E N D S H I P, with a focus on helping our children navigate new connections from foundation phase to the teenage years.

Joining us in studio is parent, author and social worker Joey Dlamini, a self-proclaimed “imperfect parent”, who is on a mission to equip parents and their families for a fast-changing world.

Joey is founder of teen empowerment nonprofit Be Accentuated, as well as author of The Teen Top 25: Foundational Life Lessons for a Thriving Journey to Adulthood. Joey chats with us about the multifaceted world of childhood friendships. Together we consider:

- When (and how) children need guidance in navigating their new friendships;
- Why it’s important for us to help our children foster multicultural friendships;
- How we help our children become more inclusive and willing to diversify their friendship group; and
- Why it has been so tricky for some South African millennial parents to do just that.

This episode is the first instalment in a three-part series about friendship, sponsored by the LEGO Group, whose mission it is to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow through the power of play.

This year LEGO celebrates the relaunch of its reimagined Friends characters series, which is focused on being more representative of race, gender, culture, ethnicity, neurodivergance, mental health conditions, as well as physical traits and different abilities.

LEGO also hopes that, by establishing real-world scenarios in the Friends range, children will be able to play out a more representative world view of real-world relationships.
