The main thing that I learned from the workshop is that it doesn't matter what skin colour you have, what type of hair you have or what type of abilities you have, you are unique in your own way and don't let anyone hurt you.
Learners are more aware of the impact that language has on others. It allows conversations to be opened up about the different types of language they hear. I think it was a good way to learn about homophobic names and words.

The session was very detailed and gave very personal and insightful experiences with recommendations on how I can apply this in my practice.
This helped me developed my confidence as I also understand the resources I can use to support pupil voices. Before I had not known about these resources so this is invaluable to my practice.
This was a great presentation! Easily the best lecture we have had as it was so personal and engaging.
I really appreciated all of the intersectional considerations. I feel very confident knowing what resources are there to support me and already have some ideas. I loved learning about Sally Ride and I’m already thinking about a topic I can do about her.

We launched the Digital Discourse Initiative in collaboration with the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), initially with a new professional learning course for teachers and educators. Through exploring the features of disinformation and the contemporary nature of online hate, participants are provided with tools and strategies to equip pupils with the skills to evaluate sources, fact-check information, and identify false or prejudicial conspiracy narratives. We intend to upscale and enhance this work in 2025-26.
We also developed and published a suite of new curriculum resources this year, including:
We are delighted that the report on the UK by the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) commended our core work, noting: “ECRI considers the embedding of LGBT inclusive education in schools in Scotland, including with the help of specialised NGOs, a good practice.”
This has been a landmark year for our charity, with innovation, growth, and measurable impact. We are proud to have supported thousands of children, young people, and educators across Scotland – earning recognition for our work internationally.
