RAINBOW
ACTIVITIES
The training activities are divided in workshops and online course.
The training activities are aimed at a very specific target: teachers, trainers, educators working with teenagers.
Specifically, a total of 28 teachers will be selected: 14 from Italy and 14 from Bulgaria.
These 28 teachers will participate in both the online course and the workshops to be held in Italy and Bulgaria.
Outcomes
Raise awareness and train educators, making them adequately capable of managing situations of violence and
intolerance against LGBT+ students in class.
We aim to:
● promote knowledge on sexual orientation and gender identity issues, starting from the experiences already carried out in schools and the training needs of teachers;
● stimulate the ability of teachers to observe and intervene at various levels on the phenomenon of homo-bi-transphobic bullying;
● create a welcoming atmosphere within the school towards students who are questioning their sexual identity;
● foster students’ awareness in relation to affectivity and sexuality, improving relations within classrooms;
● acquire tools, including terminological ones, on sexual identity and LGBT+ people;
● develop tools for the observation and prevention of homo-bi-transphobic bullying.
