More than 50 students from a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds have taken part in the 2014 Interfaith Cup at Visy Park.
The Interfaith Cup is in its second consecutive year and was held on Thursday 20 March.
It's a collaboration between the Carlton Football Club and the AFL Multicultural Program, that encourages open forum discussions surrounding faith and traditional practices.
The schools that participated included Australian International Academy, The King David School, Scotch College and Simonds College.
An array of topics were discussed including Aboriginal culture, history and tradition. In particular, students were given a unique insight into Marngrook, the Aboriginal game which is believed to have played a fundamental role in the birth of Australian Rules Football.
The students then took to the oval and competed in non-contact games of AFL, allowing everyone to take part.
Carlton's Fan Development and Diversity Co-ordinator Ned Murphy says the program is a great example of how sport has the ability to bring people together.
"The Interfaith Cup aims to promote harmony among future generations of Australians by harnessing the unique potential of sport and how it can bring people together for a day of education and fun," Murphy said.
"We don't evangelise or promote any one faith, but rather share the faith, tradition and practice of all those represented in the room."
