Educating the Educators

Educating the Educators is a training session delivered by Cara-Friend to all professionals and volunteers working with young people in Northern Ireland. It is designed to make the participants’ practice more inclusive of, and responsive to, the needs of LGBTQ+ young people. You must register, using the below contact form, to secure your FREE place on your chosen session. Details of future sessions will be published here in the coming weeks. Places will be available to book at that time.

The training consists of an informative session on sexual orientation and gender identity, and will cover issues faced by LGBTQ+ people, as well as the different definitions and terms we hear associated with the community. It will also involve a series of practical workshops designed to improve all participants’ practice in their workings with LGBTQ+ young people. It is designed to be interactive so that the participants can get the most out of the session – so specific scenarios can be brought in which relate to a participant’s own work.

Dungannon – Ranfurly House, 26 Market Square: March 25th 3pm-6pm
