Tackling Racism Through Sport Through Education

  • Tackling Racism Through Sport

    These lessons break down the reasons why people display racist behaviours and attitudes, and how we can better understand and respond to one another to prevent the ongoing damaging effects of racism.

Engage your students in the topic of racism

These Health & Physical Education lessons for Years 9 and 10 include interviews with professional Australian soccer players, Kyah Simon, Andrew Redmayne and Nikolai Topor-Stanley.

Why it's important

Continuing incidents of racism on the playing field and from spectators have put sports and athletes at the heart of conversations about racism. Because sport is so popular with young people, it is the ideal platform for talking about racism and its impacts.
