This full-day training is designed for professionals at every level, focusing on practical ways to promote inclusive and equitable workplace practices and environments.
This course uses discussion-based training to explore and answer difficult and ‘controversial’ questions surrounding gender, sex, and sexuality through a human-centred lens. Discussions prioritize diverse perspectives and lived experiences, aiming to translate this knowledge into increased confidence in interacting with queerness in the workplace.
Participants will acquire practical skills applicable both professionally and personally in a course designed to emphasize connection and shared human experience.
This course aims to tackle biased questions with the goal of refocusing attention on the individual before us.
