By Emdad RahmanUK anti racism group Kick It Out is facilitating a forum for young people at Carrow Road, the home of Norwich City Football Club tomorrow (24 April 2007) under the theme of 'Moving On Up'.
Norwich City Captain, Adam Drury, and the Canaries Nigerian born midfielder, Dickson Etuhu, will join Norwich legend Jeremy Goss (pictured scoring that magic goal against Klinsmann's Bayern), in a panel discussion. The forum will involve around 150 young people from 10 schools in Norfolk and explore issues relating to race, the importance of community and will aim to raise the aspirations of the youngsters taking part.
Local race equality expert Sean White, from the Norfolk Race Equality Council, will also join the panel.
Alison Vaughan, Kick It Out's Campaigns Manager, said:
“We have been working with Norwich City Football Club, the fans and communities in the area for a number of years to promote a message celebrating diversity in Norfolk.
"The event at Carrow Road will highlight how the appeal of football can be channelled to bring young people from different communities together, explore wider issues of inequality and discrimination, and use role models in the game to pass on practical advice that apply to all walks of life."
Joe Ferrari, Head of Media at Norwich City, added:
“We are both pleased and proud to be hosting this Moving On Up event with Kick It Out and hope it goes some way to underline our commitment to using football to promote positive messages."
