Education Projects
The Leeds United Against Racism Schools Project (LUARSP) was launched in association with the Yorkshire Evening Post to recognise the commitment of schools working on racism issues. Leeds United's Learning Centre Manager, Steve Smith, visits local schools to explain how racism can happen both on and off the pitch. Motivated by what can happen to their football heroes, the children develop strategies to tackle racism, within the classroom, the school and the local community. Every 6 weeks we then take players of different nationalities to visit a school, present the LUARSP award and answer racism-related questions to further their knowledge on the racism issue and congratulate them on their hard work.
