 The
next step
The evaluation process has merely underlined the extent to which the campaign has achieved it's aims of raising the awareness and understanding of Glasgow's schoolchildren in these vitally important areas. The workshops reached out to 900 pupils but, as stated previously, there are 80.000 school children in Glasgow so the current campaign has merely scratched the surface in terms of the possible numbers that could be involved.
The use of professional football in raising awareness cannot be underestimated. A recent study applauded the value of Show Racism The Red Card's work, in both the quality of the information dispersed and the manner in which it is transmitted to the participants involved.7 Children are particularly receptive to their role models promptings on contemporary issues, the workshop being ran in conjunction with the fun coaching session created an engaging atmosphere where old attitudes could be questioned and new ideas firmly implanted in enquiring minds.
The evaluation has showed the unrivalled success of the workshop in altering racist attitudes and raising awareness, but there is still a great deal of work to be done as our society continues to diversify. Show Racism The Red Card is the ideal vehicle to continue to educate and inform Scotland's young people about the dangers of and issues surrounding racism.
