We are thrilled to bring you the LGBT+ History Month Resource and Education Pack for 2024. LGBT+ young people exist in every space where young people are, including classrooms. At The Proud Trust, we often talk about the quote “if you can see it you can be it…” The opportunity that positive education during LGBT+ History Month provides is therefore twofold:
- To give young people the knowledge to understand and embrace the rich diversity of the world they live in, and for some, the words to describe their own experiences.
- To make visible the LGBT+ people who have been successful in a myriad of different professions.
This year’s theme of “Science and Medicine” highlights that LGBT+ people are also the people who have made a difference in medicine and healthcare. LGBT+ people are our doctors, nurses, care assistants and scientists. This year’s education pack also highlights the need to consider positively inclusive spaces in healthcare, but with learning that applies to all settings where people exist.
