Show Racism the Red Card, a charity which supports anti-racist education, is running a creative competition for schools and colleges. Individuals and classes can both submit entries across, participants need to register their interest by 27th November, and the closing date for actual entries is 29th January 2010.
The SRTRC competition task is to produce a piece of creative work which communicates the message that Racism is not welcome in Scotland. The work can be in one of a range of formats, which include art, music, multimedia, t-shirt design and creative writing.
Another approach to anti-racist education is using Film and storytelling to get young people engaged with the topic. The movie “Skin” was in cinemas earlier this year, and is now available on DVD at low cost. The charity Film Education has produced an online educational resource to accompany the movie, which helps teachers to address issues of racism through work on citizenship, English, history and modern studies.
