Education & Training Initatives
Trainings, workshops, and facilitated dialogues are available to all University departments, colleges, units, and offices and can be customized to fit the attendees' needs.
Participants are given a space to explore myths about the GLBTA community, understand heterosexual and gender privilege, and think critically about issues surrounding gender and sexuality.
Trainings can include GLBTA Jeopardy, a panel of community members, a theoretical exploration of sex/gender/sexual orientation, and facilitated discussion focused on dispelling stereotypes about the GLBTA community. Attendees leave the training with concrete steps they can take to help eliminate homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia, both on campus and in the larger community.
To schedule a training, contact the GLBTA Programs Office at glbta@umn.edu.
