Diversity role modelsDiversity Role Models actively seeks to embed inclusion and empathy in the next generation.
Our vision is a world where everyone embraces diversity and can thrive. This will help create a world where future generations embrace, accept and support difference. Our mission is to create an education system in which every young person will know that they are valued and supported, whoever they are. We create safe spaces where young people can explore difference and consider their role in creating a world where we all feel accepted. Our student workshops feature positive LGBT+ or ally role models who speak openly about their lived experiences, building young people's empathy so they can understand the (often unintended) impact of their language and actions. In order to ensure sustained change we supplement this by training school governors, staff, parents and carers. On the off chance you can't find our logos I have reattached the folder for you to pick works best and our preferred link to our website would be www.diversityrolemodels.org |
