Public Training: Intro to LGBTQIA+ Inclusion for Educators & Youth Workers

Go Beyond Posters: This Pride Month, learn how to show up for LGBTQIA+ students and make inclusion happen where it matters most.

Don’t just show support — build it into your practice. You’re invited to join our official educator training: the Minus18 team’s full, practical, and affirming online workshop on Thursday 12 June at 3:30pm-5:00pm AEST, designed to empower you to create inclusive youth spaces, no matter your setting.

This isn’t just a sneak peek — it’s the real deal.

What you'll walk away with.

• Each attendee will receive a Digital Certificate of Training Completion via email after the session.

• Clear, accessible LGBTQIA+ terminology and concepts.

• Practical tools and tips to support LGBTQIA+ students and young people in everyday settings.

• A safe space to learn and connect with like-minded educators.
  

Every student deserves to feel safe, seen, and celebrated at school. And for LGBTQIA+ youth, one supportive teacher or youth worker can make all the difference.

That could be you.

This session makes it easier to take action, wherever you are, your voice and allyship matters now more than ever. Tune in Thursday 12 June at 3:30pm-5:00pm AEST to build knowledge, confidence, and connection with others who care deeply about LGBTQIA+ students' wellbeing.
