QUT Sport has partnered with Pride in Sport to offer LGBTQ Awareness Training to provide formal professional development opportunities on the inclusion of LGBTQ people in sport. We value diversity and believe sport should offer opportunities for all, underpinned by good governance, culture, and integrity. Driving connection and inclusivity through sport is central to our strategy to provide positive pathways for student success and engagement.
The aim of the zoom session is to provide participants with an overall understanding of why LGBTQ inclusion in sport is important, as well as to provide a level of comfort around terminology, explore challenges often faced by LGBTQ people and provide awareness on the impact that culture has on the lived experience of LGBTQ people.
The session will be run by Ben Cork from Pride in Sport and starts at 3:00pm (AEST). You can find out further information about Pride in Sport here - https://www.prideinsport.com.au/
Open to all participants of our sports programs whether you are a QUT student, staff, alumni, or part of the wider Brisbane community.
The zoom link will be provided 24 hours before hand via email.
