SHOW RACISM
THE RED CARD
Wear Red Day is Friday, 25th November 2016. In school students and staff wore red
on the day to raise support for the work of Show Racism the Red Card. Everyone
wearing red paid €2. As part of the TY photography module, pictures were taken
and a competition was held to Show Racism the Red Card in our school.
Show Racism the Red Card is an anti-racist charity that has been growing

in Newcastle upon Tyne. Show Racism the Red Card is now present in United
Kingdom, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Ireland. The charity
was formally launched in Ireland in 2006.

Their educational materials are very accessible and have been very successful.

tackle racism. They deliver programmes which help impact to tackle racism and
