The Community Education Program is intended to increase participants’ knowledge of gender, sexuality and multiple intersections through a series of specific educational exercises. The Core Workshops consists of 5 workshops that will be offered once a semester (not including Summer). Participants may take the workshops in any order they’d prefer. Attendees who participate in ? of the workshops will receive an honorary mention at the Lavender Celebration as well as a certificate of completion.
In this workshop, participants will:
o Challenge understandings of the gender binary, the trans spectrum, and differences between sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression
o Illuminate current research and real-life experiences on trans identities from pronouns to safety to restrooms to healthcare
o Create inclusive understandings of gender that benefit everyone while challenging common cultural notions of femininity and masculinity
o Facilitated activities and small group discussion bring attendees together to closely examine gender justice efforts
