Club Brugge Foundation: 400 Children start ‘Diversity Wins’ Programme

This month, more than 400 secondary school students started Club Brugge Foundation‘s Diversity Wins project. ‘Diversity Wins’ is an educational programme that promotes diversity, respect and tolerance on and off the field.

Diversity Wins helps train teachers and sports coaches to deliver informative and impactful educational sessions to children, teaching them how to discuss complex topics and use appropriate language and terminology.

DEVISED CURRICULUM FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Club Brugge Foundation has developed a ready-made curriculum for secondary schools. The curriculum aims to educate, engage and inspire children and young people aged 10 to 16 through an educational programme on racial, LGBTQ+, religious and gender-based discrimination.

5 secondary schools from Flanders stepped into this project and have currently started this curriculum. In the coming months, 400 pupils will follow the curriculum. These lessons fit seamlessly with the final term ‘citizenship education’. The classroom lessons continue at school and are taught by in-house school teachers. To this end, Club Brugge Foundation has compiled a comprehensive teachers’ manual and pupil workbook.

Diversity Wins

Diversity Wins is the follow-up to the highly successful Foundation project ‘Give Racism The Red Card’, in which Club Brugge Foundation has reached more than 3,000 pupils from 25 schools in Flanders over the past three seasons, accounting for 134 classes and 160 teachers in total. Diversity Wins is a project in partnership with European Football for Development Network (EFDN) together with Real Betis Balompié (Es), Fundación Alcoraz (Es), Vålerenga IF (No), Rangers Charity Foundation (Sco), Bayer 04 Leverkusen (Ger) and Excelsior Rotterdam (Ndl). This project was co-funded by the European Union.
