National Star and Gloucestershire colleges SFA/ECU GPF project (2014/15) created activities and resources to:
  • enable greater understanding of sexual orientation 
  • a greater ability to recognise diversity in their communities
  • make informed choices about their own sexuality
Resources were used in formally observed classes to assess impact on learners' understanding of the subject.

Access the resources via Ark Hive and find out what they would do differently now.

At the heart of the project was the belief that mutually respectful relationships between learners from different backgrounds are more likely to be developed when learners can express and explore their personal experiences, rather than rehearse fixed opposing principles.
Contents:
  • What is a dialogue approach?
  • Practical activities
  • Case studies 
  • Overview of research on faith and sexuality by other organisations
  • Organisations that support individuals who have a faith and are LGBT
  • Films exploring issues of faith and sexuality

Only a third (34.6%) of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) students at college or university participate in organised team sport. One in seven (14.3%) said that homophobia, biphobia, or transphobia put them off participating. Many LGBT students (37.8%) who do take part in sport are not open about their sexuality with teammates or coaches.
Recommendations?
  • tackle prejudice and discrimination in schools
  • LGBT-friendly sports  groups that do not tolerate abuse
  • Student unions to provide a strong lead

In 2013/2014, Fircroft College's EDIF project tested out three strategies (long course – classroom discreet, short course – classroom embedded, very short course – residential) with a particular focus on the LGB and T equalities strands to see which approach was most effective in ensuring the curriculum at college equips learners with these skills. ]]> 2016-05-31 15:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/Librarycat/LGBTQI_Box_Set_2016/wish/114384826 Project Empower Librarycat https://padlet.com/Librarycat/LGBTQI_Box_Set_2016/wish/114384827 An EDI 2 (2010/11) and  EDI 4 (2012/13) project.
