Dear Teachers
We are getting in touch offering your school a once in a lifetime opportunity as part of No Barriers, a project that uses the power of football to champion inclusion in your school.
We are looking for one student from your school, aged 6-10, to represent their borough at the UEFA EUROs and walk onto the pitch at Wembley Stadium with a team playing in UEFA EUROs. Students from each London borough will be selected to attend the games, which makes this an exclusive and brilliant opportunity for your school.
In order to qualify, your school must sign up through the No Barriers webform which can be found here: https://www.big-ideas.org/nobarriers/ by Thursday 20th May.
As part of that form you must submit a ‘No Barriers Commitment’ from your school, committing to breaking down barriers to inclusion through sport. Your ‘No Barriers Commitment’ could include:
- Why is it important for everyone in your school to overcome the barriers they face?
- What can football do to inspire your pupils to overcome barriers?
- What can the UEFA EUROs do to inspire your pupils to overcome barriers?
- How do pupils in your school overcome the barriers they face?
- Tell us how your school can overcome barriers to give everyone the best shot at goal?
Places are limited and first come, first serve, so get in touch ASAP to ensure your place.
T&Cs
Schools will be selected with the aim that every borough of London is represented. When more than one school applies from a borough, schools that submit the most inspiring messages with a commitment to take part in the project will be selected. Everyone will be kept on a waiting list for further opportunities.
If your school has been selected for this opportunity, Big Ideas will contact you to confirm the details of your nominated student and to obtain consent from a parent or guardian.
All schools who register will be invited to take part in the No Barriers programme.
Feel free to contact Hollie with any questions on 07467 946897.
Best wishes,
The No Barriers team
