Radar Hate pyramid

Description
Hand out page 3 and ask the participants to add the acts in the appropriate order, with the
most serious offence on top. After the offences have been added to the pyramid, ask the
participants to tell you what acts these offences might include (if you get more ideas from the
participants, you can add those in the correct area of the pyramid later on).
Hand out page 6. Ask the participants to add the specific acts that belong to each offence.
(Page 5 is a quicker version of page 6)
Page 1 and 4 are answer sheets.
Page 7 can be used as flashcards to discuss the offences.
