WHAT

Pride in Sport will be conducting LGBTQ+ Awareness Training for member organisations in an effort to provide formal professional development opportunities on the inclusion of LGBTQ+ people in your sport.

This training is offered exclusively to staff and volunteers of our member organisations. If you are unsure whether your organisation is a member, please contact Member Support Services (thalls@acon.org.au) prior to registering.

AIM

The aim of the session is to provide participants with an overall understanding of why LGBTQ+ inclusion in the workplace and sporting community is important as well as to provide a level of comfort around terminology, explore challenges often faced by LGBTQ+ employees/athletes and provide awareness on the impact that a culture has on the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ people.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Participants will:

• Understand the business case for LGBTQ+ inclusion and explain why it is important in a workplace and sporting context

• Understand some of the lived experiences and unique challenges for LGBTQ+ people and the impact to the workplace/sport

• Understand the diversity of, and differences between sex characteristics, gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation

• Learn some introductory actions individuals can take to create a more inclusive sporting culture

Further information (including log-in details) will be provided to each participant leading up to the session. This session will be delivered via Zoom.
