Primary Seven pupils took part in a Show Racism the Red Card workshop, focusing on stereotypes and appropriate language to ensure they know how to treat everyone fairly and kindly, regardless of their differences.

The pupils had the opportunity to debate statements linked to racial acts, such as ‘Is it OK to call your local Chinese, The Chinky?’  Some pupils were surprised to know this particular statement is false and a lively debate was held, allowing them to voice their thoughts and opinions in an open environment.  Hopefully the pupils have gained a better insight into the respect needed to be used when treating others.
