Just Like Us launch more than 50 free LGBTQ+ resources ahead of School Diversity Week
LGBTQ+ youth charity Just Like Us has launched more than 50 free inclusive resources ahead of School Diversity Week. Their UK-wide celebration of LGBTQ+ equality, which takes place in thousands of primary and secondary schools, runs from 20-24 June 2022.
Activities will include LGBTQ+ inclusive geography and science lessons, storytime activities and assemblies to school talks from Just Like Us ambassadors, as well as a Rainbow Friday dress-up day.
Resources provided by Just Like Us are free for teachers and schools to use, covering EYFS, KS1, KS2, KS3 and KS4, as well as key subject areas such as posters, lesson plans, assemblies, form time activities and videos.
Just Like Us’ Chief Executive, Dominic Arnall, said they are “delighted to launch our online resources platform so that all teachers across the UK can now sign up to access free, ready-to-go lesson plans, assemblies, form time activities and more.” He added: “LGBT+ young people desperately need to hear positive messaging to combat shame, and this event is designed to do just that in a way that makes it as easy as possible for teachers.” The event is supported by the charity’s long-standing partners JP Morgan and Meta, the headline sponsor of School Diversity Week.
