Objective: To explore concepts related to gender, gender diversity and gender expression

The notion of gender identity has been diversified from a male-female binary to encompassing “countless variations.” This interactive workshop will encourage participants to consider these variations – first looking at the differences between sex, gender identity and gender expression; then exploring key concepts related to transgender and gender non-binary identities.

This workshop features a discussion looking specifically at strategies for participants to become more gender inclusive.

Objective: To develop common language around terms such as power and privilege and to explore what this means in our local context.

Why do our identities matter? Identity informs who we are, how we see the world and how we learn. Using a black/queer/feminist lens, this interactive workshop will encourage participants to explore the spectrum of identities with a critical lens on power and privilege in our local context.
