This photo was taken after the final between Portugal and France. The young man in the French football top is crying as a younger boy from Portugal approaches him and speaks to him, reassuring him. The fans then hug before walking away.

What's happening in the picture?
Where do you think they are?

Explain the story

Why did the young Portuguese fan approach the French fan?
Why didn't the Portuguese fan point and laugh, saying, "You lost!"
What does empathy mean?
How do you think the French fan felt when the Portuguese fan approached him?
How do you think the Portuguese fan felt as he approached the French fan?
What does this show us about football fans around the world?
What can we learn from this photo?
How does this relate to our No Outsiders message?

PSHE / Literacy lesson extension: LI To recognise empathy
Watch the short video on the link to the original article. Make a list of emotional vocabulary for the scene. Watch how many times the two fans speak and embrace; write dialogue for the scene. Note: the young boy could wave his flag in front of the older fan but he waits till the older fan leaves; why does he do this?
