Pridespeaks
Our workshops for students
The PrideSpeaks program is currently on hiatus. Any updates on its availability will be updated on this page.
Pridespeaks are interactive workshops for and by youth about sexual orientation, gender identity, and bullying. They are supported by the Ministry of Children and Family Development and the Vancouver School Board.
Youth facilitators provide accurate, non-judgemental information about sexual orientation, gender identity, derogatory language, bullying at school, and myths and stereotypes about LGBTQ2SAI+ youth. The workshops can be tailored upon request and are available for K-12 students.
Facilitators Forum
We believe that systems-change requires a lot of work, from a lot of different people, employing many different strategies
As educators and facilitators in queer, trans, and Two-Spirit equity and inclusion, we are called upon in professional and personal contexts to raise awareness about the particular challenges and barriers LGBTQ2SAI+ folk may experience while accessing programs, government services, interfacing with institutions and systems, or simply navigating their day to day life by going to the local pool, clearing security before a flight, or shopping for clothes at the mall.
