At the Better Together conference in January the meeting about school inclusion was huge - over 50 people in a room supposed to hold 20, and hours worth of vital work to discuss, but we only had 60 minutes. There were people from all over Australia, from many different roles (teachers, students, parents, youth workers), some identifying as LGBTQI, and some as allies.
There was a lot of interest in continuing the conversations and networking in some form, but not enough time to discuss how to do this. So, we planned to use the Rainbows in Schools Discussion Group on Facebook (until we figured out something else) to talk about the different ways we working towards inclusion, to share resources, and to work out how to network to keep the conversations going.
And then we blinked, and now it's the end of Feb, and we have suddenly been reminded of the group sitting there, unused.. So, let's change that. Whether you were at the conference or not, if you are interested in accelerating LGBTQI inclusion in Australian schools, join the group, and let's share info, and inspiration to get this done!
