Manchester City education event with SRtRC
Over 80 young people from local school’s visit Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium to take part in a arrange of activities to challenge racism.
"I think that anti-racism education is really important, not only in sport but in life. Racism has an awful history and is something we want to make part of the past.""Football is a global sport and we don't want to hear of anyone being treated negatively because of the colour of their skin or where they come from. Footballers have a high profile image and a responsibility to help show youngsters that racism is wrong."

Manchester City star Gael Clichy also took part in the event and showed his support for the Show Racism the Red Card campaign saying:"I think that anti-racism education is really important, not only in sport but in life. Racism has an awful history and is something we want to make part of the past."
"Football is a global sport and we don't want to hear of anyone being treated negatively because of the colour of their skin or where they come from. Footballers have a high profile image and a responsibility to help show youngsters that racism is wrong."
"That is why it is great that campaigns like Show Racism the Red Card are able to put on events like the one today, and why it is a good thing to be part of."
SRtRC would like to thank everyone involved in making the event such a success, especially current City players Kim Turner and Gael Clichy, City legend Alex Williams, all of the SRtRC patrons and ambassadors, Manchester City Council and everyone at the club and of course the young people themselves.
