This full-day event will focus on an LGBTIQA+ Cultural Awareness & Inclusivity Workshop.
During this event, participants will have the opportunity to learn about:
- Understanding key concepts and terminology related to LGBTIQA+ identities.
- Exploring the impact of discrimination and the importance of inclusive language.
- Addressing common challenges and misconceptions in school contexts.
- Developing school-wide strategies to promote respect and belonging.
About our guest speaker:
WIO is Tasmania's only dedicated LGBTIQA+ support, advocacy and education service.
WIO emerged out of the campaign to decriminalise male homosexuality in Tasmanian in the 1990's.
The widespread community backlash against the decriminalisation led to a spike in suicides amongst young, gay Tasmanians.
A number of concerned community members and allies formed a group to address this growing problem, eventually commissioning a report.
This report, Working It Out: A needs-based analysis of sexual minority youth in North West Tasmania, called for the provision of specialist services to support Tasmania's LGBTIQA+ people and the organisation was thus born.
