Contexto cultural
In France, the education system (L'Éducation Nationale) is strictly secular. This phrase is often used in the context of 'laïcité' to explain how to live together while being different. It became more prominent in public discourse as France navigated its role as a multicultural European hub.
Don't forget the 'S'
In French, we almost always use the plural `les différences` because you are rarely teaching just one single difference.
Enseigner vs. Apprendre
Remember: `Enseigner` is what the teacher does. `Apprendre` is what the student does (though `apprendre` can also mean 'to teach' in very informal French, stick to `enseigner` for clarity!).

What It Means
Enseigner les différences is about more than just a school lesson. It is about showing someone that being different is okay. You are helping them see the world through a wider lens. It is the act of explaining diversity. Think of it as opening a door to new perspectives.
How To Use It
You use this phrase when talking about education or parenting. It usually takes a direct object. You can enseigner les différences to children or even colleagues. It works well with verbs like apprendre or partager. Use it to describe a goal of inclusivity. It sounds proactive and positive.
When To Use It
Use it in a classroom setting during a lesson. Use it at home when your kid asks a tricky question. It fits perfectly in a corporate diversity workshop. You can use it when discussing travel experiences. It is great for social media captions about unity. It feels right when discussing human rights or sociology.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use it for simple math or science facts. It is not for teaching how to tell two objects apart. For that, use expliquer la différence. Avoid it in very casual slang-heavy conversations. It might sound a bit too 'academic' for a bar. Do not use it if the 'differences' are negative or insulting.
Cultural Background
France has a complex relationship with the concept of 'difference'. The Republic emphasizes 'Universalism', meaning everyone is a citizen first. However, modern French society is increasingly discussing multiculturalism. Enseigner les différences is a modern, progressive way to approach this. It reflects a shift toward celebrating individual identities within the French identity. It is a very 'humanist' expression.
Common Variations
You might hear sensibiliser aux différences (to raise awareness). Another version is célébrer les différences (to celebrate differences). In schools, they often say éducation à la tolérance. If you want to be more specific, say enseigner la diversité. All of these carry a similar weight of social responsibility.
Notas de uso
This phrase is safe for all professional and social settings. It sounds educated and empathetic. Be careful to use the preposition `à` when specifying who you are teaching (e.g., `enseigner les différences aux enfants`).
Don't forget the 'S'
