Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the training participants will:

Be able to understand some of the difficulties and oppression faced by people from GSM communities, particularly within an educational setting.
Understand how individual attitudes and values may impact upon work with young people.
Be able to consider ways of challenging trans phobic and homophobic language and behaviour within an educational setting.

Sexual Minorities are groups of people whose sexual orientation, gender identity or sexual characteristics are different from the presumed majority of the population, which are male or female heterosexuals. Do you know what LGGBBTTQQIAAPP means? The act of politically re grouping all non- heterosexual and non-cisgender people into the LGBT acronym is growing and forever changing but can create confusion for those not in the know. This course will also explain current language and terminology.
