Communicating LGBT+ Inclusion

Part of the Pride House Birmingham Learning Series. Providing insight, strategies and good practice solutions for engaging LGBT+ people in sport, physical activity and physical education.

Content of the webinar

Sometimes it’s tricky to communicate initiatives which are designed to welcome everyone in – maybe the language and the terminology used appears too complex or the action taken seen as too niche to warrant coverage on social media and other channels. However, it is important to talk about inclusion. Getting the messaging right helps to inform and educate those already connected to an organisation or club, and sharing a story more widely provides an opportunity to reach out to new audiences.

This webinar from Sports Media LGBT+ will help Comms professionals throughout sport get their message right on LGBT+ inclusion
