  • All Inclusion@91É«ÇéƬ trainings support learning outcomes that enable participants to understand their role in building an inclusive culture at 91É«ÇéƬ and feel supported to do so. They will develop participants' capacity to adjust behaviours (such as practical guidance on inclusive language) and to have critical conversations (such as practical conversations that challenge harmful stereotypes).

    Learning outcomes include:

    • Increased understanding of inclusive language when referring to, or speaking with, people from LGBTQIA+ communities.
    • Confidence to support LGBTQIA+ students and staff at 91É«ÇéƬ.
