I believe the answer is:

races

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'contests' is the first definition.
(race is a kind of contest)

'different peoples?' is the second definition.
'races' can be an answer for 'peoples?' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'different' bit.

'between' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for races that I've seen before include "Running competitions" , "Speed contests for horses, cars etc" , "Speed competitions for various peoples" , "Human groups" , "Sprint and marathon?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
