Our goal is for all young people to learn in school environments free from homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia. We believe that education is the most effective tool to address prejudice, foster understanding, and ensure every learner feels included and respected.
Founded as the grassroots TIE Campaign in 2015, we built and led the movement that resulted in Scotland becoming the first country in the world to commit to integrating LGBT Inclusive Education throughout the curriculum. Today, as an established education charity, we continue to turn that commitment into meaningful practice.
We support schools to implement LGBT Learning Themes across routine teaching and learning by providing high-quality resources, professional learning, and learner workshops.
All of our resources and services for schools are provided free of charge.
Our work helps all young people feel represented and included, and ensures all learners understand that LGBT people are an equal and valued part of our society – reducing the stigma and stereotypes that can lead to prejudice.
Through our partnership with the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), we also provide professional learning and resources to support Scottish teachers to counter the effects of online hate and disinformation, and to develop pupils’ critical and digital media literacy skills, delivered through the Digital Discourse Initiative.
Further information on LGBT Inclusive Education in Scotland is available from Education Scotland and in the Scottish Government’s national guidance.
