LGBTQI… Where does the alphabet end?
What would you teach in a classroom if the topic was LGBTQI? What would you want to know if you were the student? Over the past number of years we have seen great progress in recognizing the rights of the LGBTQI community, however our understanding of this community and the people who identify with it is often lacking, as we tip-toe around language and terminologies within both the classroom and workplace settings. In continuing the path to change and fight for inclusivity, now is the time to address the questions that young people want answered about the LGBTQI community, creating inclusive classrooms that everyone can feel a part of.
WE NEED YOU!
Listowel Family Resource Centre is currently conducting an online research discussion via Zoom and is inviting members of the public, aged between 15-25, to contribute questions they would like answered or addressed in relation to LGBTQI. Participants must be living in Kerry and do not need to identify with the LGBTQI community to take part, this is all an inclusive discussion.
