LGBT History Month

Gender Awareness Training

8th February 2022 by Andro and Eve

This online session is designed to pass on knowledge and best practice, enabling you to better serve and meet the needs of clients, customers and audiences of all genders, particularly those who fall under the Transgender* umbrella.

Drawing upon Andro and Eve’s extensive experience in meeting the needs of the LGBTQIA community in creating safe and inclusive events, this session covers;

Context. Where are we at with Trans Rights in the UK?
Terminology. Words have impact. We explore definitions and when to use.
Best practice. Looking at practical steps to implement, in order to be inclusive of transgender and gender diverse people.
Sharing experiences. Stories help us make sense of the world. We use practical exercises to help develop understanding and participants to relate to the subject.

Outcomes – You will;

  • Feel more confident in your knowledge of the experiences of people who identify as LGBTQ+.
  • Understand what gender inclusive language is and when to use.
  • Understand the practical steps to help build gender inclusive practices and spaces.
  • Take away a resource sheet with content covered in the session along with further advice and resources.

 

Covering topics including language, intersectionality, non binary identities, gender in a global context, feminism, LGBTQ+ history and transgender health and equality and the law.

Here’s what one previous participant had to say – “A really valuable session – it covers the legal and practical aspects (and flaws!) and discusses ways forward. It encourages empathy and reflection. Really well facilitated.”

NEVER BLEND IN: Stories of LGBTQ+ Resilience and Empowerment

19th February 2021 by LGBTQ Inclusion Consultant - David Equality Hull-Watters

NEVER BLEND IN: VOICES OF OUR LGBTQ+ ROLE MODELS
Stories of Resilience and Empowerment
David Equality Hull-Watters

Inclusion and Wellbeing Consultant, David E. Hull-Watters has spent the past decade interviewing numerous LGBTQ+ role models from education, entertainment, law enforcement, medical and emergency services, politics, religion and sports for his book, NEVER BLEND IN.

In this relaxed, accessible, interactive presentation, he shares selected extracts, including original and insightful interviews with Alan Cumming OBE, Stephen Fry, Anthony Rapp, Heather Matarazzo, Daniel Newman, Adele Anderson, John Amaechi, Clare Summerskill; key equality advocates, educators, and influencers of policy Sue Sanders, Phyllis Akua Opoku-Gyimah (UK Black Pride), Jason Jones, Maurice Tomlinson, Rabbi Denise Eger, Lt. Dan Choi, veteran human rights campaigner, Peter Tatchell; filmmakers Parvez Sharma and Mobeen Azhar; transgender trailblazers David E. Weekley, Michael Eric Brown, Caroline Paige, and Jamison Green, amongst many others.

The over-arching theme of this presentation is the importance of overcoming limiting labels and the benefits of seeing positive role models who can inspire us to fulfil our potential, making the session accessible to all.

David interweaves these interview extracts with an exploration of how life need not be a self-fulfilling prophecy, that our “truth” is shaped through our relationships, our environment, and our experiences, and of how we can change our perceptions, heighten our self-esteem, and move toward personal and professional goals with clear vision and purpose.
