England Lacrosse is holding an online workshop on Thursday 23 November at 6:30pm as part of our celebrations during Stonewall’s 2023 Rainbow Laces Campaign.
Entitled “Leading LGBTQ+ Inclusion in Student Sport”, the workshop is open to anyone interested in learning about inclusion and how they can improve inclusion in their club/team.
Despite having a focus on inclusion in student sport, the workshop is suitable for those at schools and clubs as well as universities.
Delivered by Stonewall, the workshop will explore the experiences and barriers LGBTQ+ students face in university and in sport, allowing attendees to understand how to incorporate inclusive action into their everyday leadership via Stonewall's ‘Everyday Inclusion’ model and identify practical steps for building, leading, and sustaining successfully inclusive clubs.
The workshop will be around 1.5 hours long and is free to attend but anyone wanting to attend should register their interest below, after which England Lacrosse will be in touch with more information.
The workshop comes just before the start of Stonewall’s annual Rainbow Laces Campaign that’s celebrating its 10th year in 2023.
Taking place from 25 November to 6 December, the Campaign aims to promote and create “a world where LGBTQ+ people feel welcome to watch and participate in sport - at all levels”.
Stonewall’s overarching message in 2023 is “Lace Up to Keep it Up” and they are challenging everyone to to share with the world what you are going to “Keep Up” in support of LGBTQ+ inclusion.
