Information events and training courses to raise awareness of the concerns of LGBTQ* people and to expand competence in dealing with sexual and gender diversity.
The courses are aimed at professionals, institutions, and groups in the state of Bremen and the surrounding area. When planning training courses, the specific needs and target group of the requesting institution are taken into account. The content of the training modules addresses diverse aspects and life situations of LGBTQ* individuals.
Continuing education courses:
- Queer in the Classroom? – Professional Development for Teachers and Other Professionals
In addition to educational workshops for students, our "Queer Education" project offers professional development for teachers and other professionals working in the school context on romantic, sexual, and gender diversity in Bremen schools. Besides terminology, needs, and the legal framework, the training also addresses how to deal with transphobia, homophobia, and other forms of queerphobia. We strive to keep multiple forms of discrimination and intersectionality in mind. We are also happy to create customized programs for you. For further information and contact details, please see Queer Education.
