Show Racism the Red Card are calling on all primary and secondary schools, youth organisations, children and young people in Limerick to enter their annual โAnti-Racism Creative Competition 2018.โ
The competition encourages young people to develop creative anti-racism messages using written, visual and audio-visual means. The deadline for entries isย Friday,ย 30thย March 2018.
Show Racism the Red Card is an international anti-racism and education charity. Speaking about the Anti-Racism Creative Competition, Garrett Mullan,ย Executive Director of Show Racism the Red Card, said: โRacism continues to be a serious issue in Irish society, and itโs an issue that needs to be tackled in our schools, youth organisations and sports clubs from Limerick. By encouraging children and young people to use their creativity to develop anti-racist messages, we hope to instill an understanding of the negative implications of racism that will resonate with young people, helping us to stamp out racism.
โEvery year we are blown away by the talent of entrants and the creativity and originality of their work. We hope this year will be the same! Weโre encouraging all schools and youth organisations around Ireland to get involved.โ
