One of the main differences between the Green Schools programme and the Yellow Flag project is that the initial step for a "diverse school" is for staff and management to undergo training in interculturalism and anti-racism. While both programmes are whole-school initiatives, the Yellow Flag programme may have specific impact on minority communities and teachers need to have the skills to deal with these issues should they arise. Teachers will be given a safe space in which to talk about intercultural issues and devote time as a staff to discussions in the area.
