Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
Our SOGI workshops are a perfect introduction for your staff and educator team. A 2-3 hour workshop highlights the importance of language, terminology and allyship through action, while guiding educators to become more confident and comfortable in learning how to incorporate SOGI inclusive learning into their everyday curriculum and environment. The Out In Schools team will work with your educators to customize any workshop to address specific needs that are arising in your school community, and provide you with the tools needed to create a thriving environment for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, staff, and families.

Beyond language and terminology, this workshop explores concepts of Two Spirit and Indigiqueer identities situated in the larger conversation of colonial impacts on concepts of gender and sexuality. Bridging the gap between TRC Calls to Action in education and SOGI education initiatives, this 2-3 hour workshop asks participants to engage in the deeper conversation of situating themselves in understanding the ongoing impacts of colonization in relation to gender, sexuality, community and culture.
