Gerson and Bruno Peres take part in Scuola di Tifo project

The two Brazilians, as part of the Roma Cares initiative, met students and discussed important issues like bullying and racism.

"People should not be judged by the colour of their skin, but for their character," Bruno Peres said. "At times I have felt down when I have heard certain things, but you need to be smart, you need to ignore that sort of thing and not be dragged down to that level."
