No Room for Racism - Stereotyping

KS2
Diversity, Fairness, Equality, Identity

This pack is designed to help pupils think about the effects of discrimination or hurtful behaviour, while providing opportunities to challenge and change attitudes, all within a real-life context. The activities offer pupils the opportunity to use their thinking skills through guided activities which aim to reveal pupils’ own stereotypical views in order to introduce the concepts.

The films include clips from professional football players who give their views on racial stereotyping and what it means to be an ally. 

Refer to the Teacher guidance document and the General guidance document for teaching PSHE before delivering this lesson.
