No To Hate
Chelsea Champion School
Federico: Student

In January 2021, we launched the No To Hate campaign. At Chelsea FC, we are clear there can be no place in our game, nor our society, for racism, antisemitism or any form of discrimination.
As part of this campaign, our education team has been delivering across partner schools, with the aim of educating young people on the importance of diversity and inclusion. Throughout the year, students at schools have celebrated Chelsea’s black heroes through the This Is Us campaign, a branch of the No To Hate project.
One student, Federico, enjoyed taking part in equality sessions and showcasing his learning and understanding through discussions in class, as groups and as an individual.
‘I think it’s important we are taught about that because it’s good that we know what happens in the real world and we can help to stop it.
‘We should all respect people as we would like to be respected. The sessions showed me how important it really is.’
Federico was also inspired in particular by Chelsea player Reece James.
‘On the internet people were calling Reece James names and judging him for his race. For the next Chelsea match he wore boots that said No Room For Racism and it showed all types of races. It really inspired me when I saw his football boots.’
