Show Racism the Red Card
​Caherline National School young artists works,
​Mon 8th - Sat 13th June, 2015

Position: Co-organiser

The Hunt Museum hosted an exhibition of the Caherline National Schools work for which they had recently been awarded first prize in the Primary School Award of the national “Show Racism the Red Card” competition.

Caherlin N.S entry for the competition consisted of 26 self-portraits where students reimagined themselves as a different nationality. Students researched and chose different nationalities to represent. This research inspired the children to transform their appearance to that of a person living in the country they learned about.
​​
Winning a National Competition such as “Show Racism the Red Card” was a wonderful achievement for the school. It is an award the school is extremely proud of, given the plight that racism is not only in school but also in society. The children realised that they could make a difference in promoting equality and fairness by means of their video, which was a creative mix of art, song and performance.  As a school they are thrilled with the knowledge that their video will help promote respect for all beliefs and all backgrounds. The video sends out a strong message that there is only one race……..”The Human Race”.
The award was the fruit of much hard work and planning by the pupils and staff. The project was co-ordinated and planned by Miss Lambert who worked hard with the pupils and other staff members to create the award winning video. In all 88 pupils helped to make the video. Caherline N.S feels education is the way forward in this respect- after all we are not born racist, it is something children learn as much as they are not born knowing a poem or long division sum!
