Growing Trans & Non-Binary Awareness
We’ve teamed up with Diverse Educators to deliver a two-part course on Transgender and Non-Binary awareness, to help people finding confidence in understanding, supporting and making space for Gender Diverse people.
Working with Diverse Educators, who provide support, training and resources around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in education, this 2 part course will support you in:
- Sharing the lived educational experience of LGBT+ gender diverse people.
- Becoming conscious of the additional barriers gender diverse young people may face in schools.
- Becoming conscious of the historical and current statutory guidance and legislation in relation to supporting gender diverse people.
- Building confidence through exploring the developing language around gender identity and expression.
- Exploring the distinction between sex, gender identity, and gender expression.
- Building confidence and competence in supporting trans young people as they come out in an educational space.
- Growing confidence and competence in challenging transphobic language.
- Developing competence in reimagining our educational spaces, and making them more diverse, equitable, and inclusive of gender diverse people.
To get the most out of the course, you will need to attend both sessions. Each session will allow time at the end for a Q&A.
- Part 1: 8 January 2025
- Part 2: 2 July 2025
