Understanding and Including People in the + of LGBT+: Open Training Session

Plus Importance Project is a charity focused on improving understanding and inclusion of people in the + of LGBT+, defined as sexualities, gender identities, relationship orientations and sex characteristics including, but not limited to, asexual, genderfluid, genderqueer, intersex, non-binary, pansexual, polyamorous and queer.

The number of people identifying in the + of LGBT+ is growing significantly, particularly in younger generations, so it's important for everyone to improve their understanding and practices to better include people in the +. Would you benefit from our support and expertise?

This is a 2.5 hour training session to help you understand and include people in the + of LGBT+.

We recommend attending if:

• You're already familiar with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender identities. We cover these briefly but most of our focus is on other LGBT+ identities.
• You're open to changing your practices to create a more inclusive environment, going beyond the legal minimum.

We've had excellent feedback from our training so far so we're sure you'll love it too:

• 98% of attendees said they would recommend our training to others!
• "The training was fantastic, engaging, and educational. We all really enjoyed and appreciated the session and left feeling more knowledgeable and with more understanding of + experiences and issues. Overall, would absolutely recommend."

• 96% of attendees said the session improved their confidence in talking about identities in the +.
• "I talked about this training to lots of people over the next few days - you made the time feel like a really open and safe space, thank you!"

• 98% of attendees said the session improved their understanding of people in the + of LGBT+.
