Safer school sessions range from understanding the LGBTQI2S acronym, gender fluidity, capacity building, consent, and more. Our Draw the Line workshops focus on transphobia, rape culture, and intersectionality. Our facilitators integrate lecture-style speeches, videos, activities, interactive games and discussion to ensure a well-rounded and in-depth understanding of the content. Egale hopes, through our workshops, to create a more inclusive, safer, and educated community.
