Raises awareness about discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ individuals.

Activities:

• Art projects: Create inclusive posters, poetry or flags.

• Story sessions: Share experiences from LGBTQ+ individuals.

• Scenario Role-Play: Create real-life school scenarios (e.g. overhearing a homophobic joke) and have students role-play how to be an ally or upstander.

• “Walk in My Shoes”: Have students write out their experiences which can be read out during form by staff.

School-wide Awareness:

• Display inclusive symbols and messages around the school.

• Host assemblies discussing the importance of acceptance and reaffirming the schools stance and policies around anti-bullying.

• Have students pledge to stand against bullying by signing a pledge sheet. Students can work on the pledge together during the weekly group.
