Teams in all four divisions are getting behind the weeks of action. The initiative, coordinated by football's equality and inclusion campaign, Kick It Out, began last week and signals the start of a 12-day period of nationwide activity to celebrate diversity and form a united stand against discrimination.

The last week has seen a number of high-profile events supporting the One Game, One Community weeks of action with more than 15,000 fans forming mosaics at the televised matches at Middlesbrough, Newcastle United and Stoke City.

As well as getting involved on match days, scores of clubs organised events for schoolchildren, with events taking place at Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Millwall, Coventry City and Oldham Athletic featuring Q&A sessions with players. More will follow at Peterborough United and Bolton Wanderers next week.

The campaign also saw a number of panel discussion events taking place, including an event at the FA's Soho Square headquarters entitled 'Homophobia - football's final taboo?' and an event in association with England fans entitled 'Can Theo Be The New Becks?'. The campaign also held an Asians in Football event in Manchester with Wes Brown and Zesh Rehman.

Kick It Out ambassador, Chelsea and France striker Nicolas Anelka said: "In football there are lots of origins, cultures, religions and nobody feels left out or different.

"We are all together in a team, we all play together and we are all friends even if we don't have the same culture or come from different countries, we all want to play and enjoy football."

Fellow ambassador, Fernando Torres added: "Racism has no place in any sport or society in general. We must speak out against it wherever it occurs. Kick It Out's work helps raise awareness of such things."

Don Goodman, Luther Blissett, Curtis Davies, Earl Barret, Cameron Jerome, Emile Heskey, Paul Elliott, Robbie Earle, Brendan Batson, Bangra singer H Dhami, The FA's Lucy Faulkner and gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell have all contributed to the weeks so far.
