Understanding Allyship through Language and Action

Empower your students to become active allies by exploring the powerful role of language in creating inclusive communities. In this engaging unit, students will discover what it means to be an ally, understand how words shape relationships, and learn the importance of standing up for others both on and off the field. Through thoughtful analysis of Collingwood Football Club’s AFL/AFLW players' language, hands-on activities, and role-play scenarios, students will develop the tools they need to positively influence their environment and create supportive, respectful spaces for everyone.

By the end of this unit, students will understand the difference between helpful and harmful language, know how to put allyship into action, and be ready to use their words to make a difference in their communities.
