Who is this training workshop aimed at?
This training workshop is our most intellectually challenging workshop. It's suitable for people who are open and willing to challenge their preconceived ideas of the social world we live in. It is ideal for people who are willing to examine their own and the wider societies view of identity constructs in general, beyond sexual and gender minorities, including ethnicity, age, social class, political leanings and stereotypical gender roles.
What are the main takeaways from this training workshop?
Following the completion of this training workshop, participants will have learned how binary constructs of sexual and gender identity can be limiting at best and misleading and downright inaccurate at worse. They will be equipped with tools and frameworks allowing them to challenge binary and categorical concepts of our social world in their everyday life. They will appreciate how dismantling binary identity concepts in one area of our lives has the potential of having similar effects in other areas, and is far from exclusive to sexual and gender minority experiences.
