Children from a Barry primary school have been working on an anti-racism project.
Show Racism the Red Card recently visited the All Saints Church in Wales primary school as part of their Leaders of Now scheme.
A group of pupils worked alongside staff from the charity to look at what they felt anti-racism should like in their school.
An action group called 'Red to Racism' was formed - and over ten weeks, they took part in numerous activites, including a survey to see how anti-racism was reflected in their resources and the school's understanding of it.
After a presentation to fellow pupils, staff, parents and governors, the group were invited to present their findings to the Vale Community Cohesion Group last month.
George Ashworth, deputy headteacher at All Saints CiW, said: "Representatives from the school's governing body and Show Racism the Red Card also attended to hear the children present on how the school is raising the profile of the Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan, how they are gaining a deeper understanding of cynefin, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and how these important topics are being taught in school, driven by pupil voice."
"The children are eager to present again in the future and are excited to continue working towards the targets outlined in their action plan."
"Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to this brilliant event."
The project was held in the run-up to Race Equality Week, which is being supported by Vale Council.
The theme of this year's campaign - organised by the charity Race Equality Matters - is 'Every Action Counts', as it aims to unite thousands of organisations in order to tackle racial inequality in the workplace.
A five-day challenge is held throughout the week - with each day dedicated to addressing a key issue that can be hurful, damaging and excluding to colleagues, friends & family and the community at large.
Cllr Ruba Sivagnanam, cabinet member for equalities, said: "Race equality is everyone's responsibility, and the Vale of Glamorgan Council is steadfast in its commitment in helping to achieve it."
"Having an equal, diverse, and inclusive council means we can better improve employment opportunities and delivery of service for minority ethnic communities and groups."
