Schoolchildren showed to a special guest recently how Chelsea have helped teach them about equality and inclusion.
The students from Servite Primary School, in Chelsea, and St Polycarp's School, in Surrey, presented to Eden Hazard a series of pledges they had made to promote and celebrate diversity as part of Chelsea Foundation's Building Bridges programme.
The programme, where Foundation coaches help classroom discussions on inclusion, focuses on cultural and religious issues, disabilities and the significance of equality in day-to-day life.
"They worked well on the project and for their education it is good," Hazard said. "They have to know that life is not easy but it's more easy to be together and to have respect everybody."
The children enjoyed a kickabout with Hazard at Chelsea's training ground before having the honour of handing him the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for October.
"It's far better to use footballers and people that are linked with a club like Chelsea," St Polycarp's deputy head teacher, Karen Trafford, said of teaching inclusion. "Especially for boys, it's nice to have different people interacting with them who they respect."
