Dragons support Show Racism the Red Card

05/12/2019

Scrum half Tavis Knoyle was a special guest as Dragons hosted an educational event for Show Racism the Red Card (SRtRC) at Rodney Parade this week.

Pupils from Maindee Primary School attended Rodney Parade on Wednesday to take part in the SRtRC educational club event.

Education Worker Steve Jenkins delivered a workshop in the morning to the young people educating them on the topic of racism, using interactive activities and discussions.

Pupils then had to create newspapers and were tasked with researching racism in sport and society for articles.

In the afternoon pupils watched an educational film, which gave them a last opportunity to obtain further knowledge on the topic before the question and answer session in a press conference styled event with special guest Tavis Knoyle.

The youngsters, now in the role of newspaper journalists, were selected to ask questions, introduce themselves and the newspaper they ‘worked’ for followed by their question to Knoyle, plus former professional football players Steve Jenkins and Sean Wharton.

The pupils posed some really challenging questions and prize winners on the day, Ibrahim and Shakhella, won match tickets to Dragons and merchandise, along with a SRtRC goodie bag for asking the best question.

SRtRC would like to the schools for attending the event and Dragons for working in partnership to host the event and for providing the prizes for the pupils.
