Club Brugge Foundation's educational project "Diversity Wins" is experiencing great success this school year. With the International Day against Racism and Discrimination (March 21) as an important benchmark, 1,394 pupils took up the fight for an inclusive society. The absolute highlight took place on Tuesday, March 24: a unique online live interview where pupils could put their questions directly to Club Brugge players & players of Club YLA.
A total package for the schools
Diversity Wins is a powerful program where participating classes receive a comprehensive ready-to-use curriculum to get started. Each student and teacher receives their own work bundle packed with exercises on topics that really matter today: racism, faith, LGBTQIA+ and general diversity. This year, as many as 1,394 students and 71 teachers signed up to build a respectful society both on and off the field.
Deepening and Support
To increase the impact, Club Brugge Foundation in cooperation with Thomas More University College previously organized a supportive workshop for teachers at the Jan Breydel Stadium. Here they received additional tools to lead the dialogue on these sensitive social issues in a safe and constructive way in their own classroom environment.
From the workbook to a live online dialogue
During an online live interview, the students had the opportunity to ask their idols candid questions about the topics covered in the past weeks and coming weeks in deck class. Nordin Jackers and Cisse Sandra from the A-core and Isabelle Iliano and Jody Vangheluwe from Club YLA chimed in to answer the questions.
Workshop Team4Democracy
During the Diversity Wins track, schools can also register their classes for the external workshop "Team4Democracy. In collaboration with the BELvue Museum, students are challenged to think about the building blocks of our democracy and how values such as respect, participation and cooperation are indispensable.
