Description

While much progress has been made, the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities still face challenges with heterosexism, genderism, transphobia and homophobia, which can lead to individuals feeling unsafe at work. This course explains what it means to be a Positive Space ambassador and prepares individuals to offer support to their colleagues as a Positive Space ambassador in the workplace. Through scenarios and practical exercises, participants will learn behaviours that can help bring diversity and inclusion into the modern workplace.

Topics include:

• defining the role of a Positive Space ambassador
• outlining helpful behaviours of ambassadors
• reviewing different support methods

Notes:

To effectively take on the role of a Positive Space ambassador, learners are expected to have taken Positive Space awareness training prior to registering for this course, such as Positive Space Initiative: 2SLGBTQIA+ Awareness (INC111) or an equivalent.

2SLGBTQIA+ = Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender and people who identify as being part of sexual and gender diverse communities.
