The majority of children and young people self- identify into these two groups, which can lead to the marginalization of those who do not or are perceived not to. In fact, while schools should be a safe space for all, research repeatedly shows that LGBTI+ children and young people still face bullying at school because of who they are or how they are. On the other hand, it is crucial for all children and young people to learn and reflect on the full diversity of the world they live in. The main message is in line with human rights perspective: no one should be treated differently because of who they are or are perceived to be. Education helps children and adults alike to avoid confusing gender identity with sexuality. The LGBTI+ label groups together people with non-straight sexual identities (lesbian, gay and bisexual), people who do not conform to their assigned gender and intersex people. The “+” is used to include other sexual and gender identities and expressions that go beyond the categories L, G, B, T and I. This workshop has been developed with the aim of sensitizing and making children reflect on the diversity of gender identity, gender expression, sexual characteristics, and sexual orientation, promoting an atmosphere of acceptance and respect within any spaces where children and young people socialize. Although the goal is to challenge prejudices, it has been designed to ensure no one is made an example of or otherwise made to feel uncomfortable. The workshop also aims to evaluate children’s perceptions, discourses, social representations, and practices towards LGTBI and gender non-conforming people Thu, 01 Oct 2020 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10256/21385 2020-10-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10256/21384 Training module for professionals working with children (Education; Health; Media; Public Space and Families) Diversity and Childhood (Projecte); Sándor, Bea This training proposal is a contribution to combating violence against LGBTI+ children and adolescents. It provides inclusive and competent tools for professionals working with children and youth in five key areas: education, health care, media, public space and families and families associations. The training curriculum presented in this document is part of the project Diversity and Childhood, the objectives of which include the increase of professional, personal, peer groups and proximity environment abilities to favour and promote the well-being of LGBTI+ children through training to the key actors. The proposal covers the training of 1,5 days and includes different typologies of activities: group work, theoretical approaches and several dynamic activities. Parts of the modules may be omitted, changed, or applied differently in accordance with local needs (e.g. the needs, preferences and previous experiences/training of professionals). In the event that such training can only be held online, the recommendation is to split its content application into two half days. The materials needed for the training are indicated in each activity and they can be downloaded when needed. Moreover, at the end of the training curriculum, we provide a template of assessment questionnaire for participants, as well as a template of an attendance list; Aquesta proposta formativa és una contribució a la lluita contra la violència contra els infants i adolescents LGBTI+.
