Event Information
Supporting diversity and promoting inclusion are essential components of working with people in culturally relevant and safe ways. This training series invites service providers to broaden their awareness and build capacity around 2SLGBTQ+ Awareness, Inclusion, and Affirmation through a pre-recorded workshop video shared on July 29th. Participants will have three weeks to complete the workbook that accompanies the pre-recorded materials and are then invited to attend a live session on August 19th.
Registration will be closed on July 23rd, so please register as soon as possible!
Through explanation, reflection questions, and activities, Rainbow Resource Centre’s 2SLGBTQ+ Awareness, Inclusion, and Affirmation pre-recorded workshop prepares participants to:
Differentiate between Sex Assigned at Birth, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, Sexual Orientation, and Culture
Recognize how Cissexism / Cisnormativity and Heterosexism / Heteronormativity Show Up
Create Safe(r) and More Inclusive Spaces
This pre-recorded workshop will be useful for folks who are completely new to the topic but it can also serve as a good refresher for those who already have a basic understanding of the concepts.
The live discussion session on August 19th will allow participants to ask questions, hear personal experiences, and discuss the concepts as a group. Bre Giesbrecht (they/them) from Rainbow Resource Centre will facilitate this session, offering guidance and providing different perspectives on the topic.
