Tackling Racism - Challenging Conversations

Students will investigate how engaging in challenging conversations requires us to be supportive, honest and inclusive of the views, opinions and experiences of others. Students will watch a video of professional Australian soccer players reflecting on having conversations about racism. They will then engage in discussions about safety and practise having a challenging conversation about racism.
It is recommended that this lesson is delivered as the starting point of the Tackling Racism Through Sport unit. This will help students to strengthen their understanding of these concepts and inspire them to have healthy and constructive conversations about race and racism. It may also support students to challenge racist behaviours and attitudes in themselves and others.
