Europäische Jugendbildungs- und Jugendbegegnungsstätte Weimar

Introduction to gender and sexual diversity

Time required: 2 – 6 hours (depending on requirements)
Age group: from 10 years

Background

Being queer – what does that mean? People have different identities, sexual orientations and ways of living, loving and having relationships. This diversity is becoming more and more visible in today’s society and this workshop aims to promote this.

Procedure

Various methods will be used to question stereotypes and break down prejudices. What is queerness and how can it be expressed?
Participants will interactively develop and discuss basic terms and concepts. In an open and safe space, everyone will have the opportunity to exchange ideas, reflect on themselves and acquire new knowledge.

Aims

The aim is to initiate learning processes through joint discussion that will enable participants to work towards a fairer society and greater acceptance of diversity, as well as to get to know and develop themselves better.

Notes

• This workshop is particularly aimed at school classes from 5th to 12th grade, but also at young people in other (educational) institutions who are interested and open to learning about and reflecting on gender, romantic and sexual diversity.
• The time frame can vary from 2 hours to a whole project day (about 6 hours).
• The workshop takes place as a face-to-face workshop.
• It is offered in German or English.
