FAI Development Officers will deliver anti-racism workshops using the materials of SRTRC in over 100 schools around Ireland during the fortnight 5th-19th October 2017.

Anti Racism Creative Competition 2018
Primary & Secondary schools, Youthreach & Youth services are invited to register to participate for the 9th Annual Show Racism the Red Card Creative Competition. Our video and the slogan Show Racism the Red Card is our message about racism. The Creative Competition is a challenge for young people of all ages to devise their own message about racism using written, visual and audio- visual means.
‘I teach SPHE and I found this project to be an excellent way of both covering the course, and engaging the students’, Sheila Cusack teacher from Athlone Community College.
‘We began by watching and discussing the DVD. It was amazing to see the children’s reactions and their own personal experiences of racism’, Maria Moynihan teacher from Carrigaline Educate Together.

One Race – Human Race exhibition
The One Race exhibition is made up of visual art pieces entered to the SRTRC Creative Competition over the last 8 years. The exhibition is now bigger than ever with new additions from 2017 participants. It is a highly engaging impressive display which has already been on show at libraries, civic offices, teacher training colleges around the country. We would like to bring it to new locations, so contact us to host or watch this space for more updates.
Anti Racism Workshops
Would you like Show Racism the Red Card to come to your school/club/ youth service?
SRTRC deliver workshops to help promote the anti-racism message. Our workshops explore what is racism, how it happens, its impact and how to respond. The delivery uses interactive activities, discussion, video and other materials to convey the message. A workshop is the ideal way to support participation in the Creative Competition.
Anti Racism Training
A survey by the Teachers Union of Ireland found 45% of teachers had witnessed racism in the classroom and 65% felt they needed training to help address the issue. Show Racism the Red Card offer a range of training options including after school workshops and our online course.
‘I found it interesting how activities designed to combat racism can be integrated into other curriculum areas’, said student teacher Niamh Mongey
Our mascot- Jeff the Ref
Jeff the Ref is a cuddly and friendly dog who has recently been adopted by the “Show Racism the Red Card” team to help tackle racism in Ireland. Jeff loves sports and believes everyone should enjoy the games too, regardless of their background, be it colour, nationality, religion or culture. Jeff believes racism is not acceptable and should it be about, be sure that Jeff will get his red card out!
Jeff is available to come to events in schools, clubs, community or other organisations to support the anti-racism message. Contact us for more information.
Always show racism the Red Card!
