FOOTBALL VERSUS DISCRIMINATION
The SARI Anti-Discrimination workshop brings together pupils on the pitch or in the playground to play sport, and to consider and challenge forms of discrimination such as racism, homophobia and sexism.
The workshop, which is delivered by SARI coaches and Young Leaders, many of whom are from ethnic minority backgrounds, provide children and young people with the opportunity to experience new perspectives and educate them to identify discriminatory behavior and attitudes.
The children take the skills and learnings that have been applied on the pitch such as team work, fairplay and respect and apply them in everyday life.
