TRAINING MODULES AVAILABLE INCLUDE:

Letters and Stripes

Getting to grips with LGBTQ+ terminology, understanding pronouns, and understanding all those different flags, can feel a little daunting at first for many .

Terms can change and evolve every now and then, but it does not have to be a taboo conversation . From understanding the differences between Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Biological Sex to getting a hold on pronouns, and why the ever changing Pride Flags are things to be embraced - we have got you covered!

We are happy to provide a safe environment where people can ask questions, learn about things and share their outlook and experiences – making your place of work more inclusive and supportive for all who work there .

The journey of Pride, history of the movement in Ireland and abroad, and what Pride around the world is doing now

Want to know your marches from your riots? Your protests from your parades? From The Stonewall Inn of New York City to Fairview Park in Dublin, global and local events helped shape the journey of LGBTQ+ people and their communities . With hard fought victories in Ireland in terms of Marriage Equality, blood donation and Gender Recognition – what are the most pressing priorities for LGBTQ+ organisations now? How can we support groups and organisations trying to operate in hostile countries? And what can everyone can do to make a difference?

Join us for an informative session that will help shine a light on all the work, past and present and how much there still is to do .

How to be an Ally

Being an LGBTQ+ ally can make a huge difference for those in the workplace, as well as in everyday life, whether you show your allyship by showing up to Pride Parades or just standing up against homophobia or transphobia . It is super easy too – but sometimes we may worry about using our voices in case we offend or say the wrong thing . Join us as we go through talking about the power of allies, confronting our own bias and identifying hurtful or damaging language . This informal workshop will aim to show people how they can make a huge difference through everyday acts of kindness .

Pride Quiz - have fun while learning

Whether it’s trying to work out the year of decriminalisation or how many times there has been an LGBTQ+ world leader, let us host a quiz for you and your team . Topics could be anything from history to politics to sports to the Eurovision Song Contest . It promises to be both fun and informative, with prizes galore .
