Show Racism the Red Card – call for participants

Show Racism the Red Card is calling for teachers, tutors and youth workers to register their groups to participate in the Anti- Racism Creative Competition 2012.  Deadline for entries will be the last Friday of February.  The competition is open to primary and secondary schools and also youth services and youthreach centres.  An awards presentation will take place in the AVIVA stadium in April.

Once you register, you will be sent the Show Racism the Red Card DVD for free and links to the 28 page education pack, downloadable interactive activities and other resource material that will help you promote learning around racism in your group.  Once the young people have watched the DVD, they will then be challenged to create their own written, visual or audiovisual piece arising from the themes of the DVD.

Youth arts can broadly be defined as young people taking part voluntarily in creative, cultural or expressive activity outside of the formal education process. It can encompass participation and appreciation, as well as engagement with arts work specifically created by, with or for young people.
