Qmunity’s Queer Competency Training
Join BCCPA, EngAge BC and Qmunity for a four-hour workshop, intended to help you build the queer competency you need to support LGBTQ2+ seniors.
Through facilitated conversations you will focus on creating inclusive spaces and building out allyship. You will learn about:
- LGBTQ2S+ terminology and definitions.
- The gender binary and spectrum models.
- Gendered language, including pronouns and how to respectfully ask people which pronouns they prefer.
- A self-reflection exercise to illustrate how, even as allies, we oppress and/or act as bystanders during moments of oppression, before discussing ways in which we can disrupt our own biases and prejudices of those around us.
- Ways in which complicit or explicit homophobia and transphobia manifest, while discussing the similarities and differences between discrimination, prejudice and oppression, as it applies to the LGBTQ2S community.
Date: November 29th
Time: 10 a.m.–2:30 p.m. (Lunch will be provided)
