Pride with Purpose Workshop

Pride with Purpose is a 2-day training event for LGBTIQA+ communities and allies to build their capacity in promoting inclusion and diversity. The goal of the project is to empower participants with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to create safe and inclusive spaces for all members of the LGBTIQA+ community, while also engaging the non-queer community to become more effective allies.

Pride with Purpose will consist of a series of workshops that will help LGBTIQA+ advocates and allies build their capacity to create positive change in their communities. The event will also emphasise sustainable leadership and self-care as essential components of effective leadership and advocacy.

The project will be delivered over two separate events, with a specific target audience for each training day as follows:

DAY 1 - 14 June

14 June is aimed at LGBTIQA+ community advocates, Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) leads, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), emerging leaders and change-makers. This event is for individuals who have some level of experience or interest in advocacy related to LGBTIQA+ rights and inclusion. It is intended to support LGBTIQA+ change-makers who want to learn more about becoming an effective spokesperson and leader to drive change. Participants will cover the following topics:

• Story of Self - The Importance of Storytelling as an Advocacy Tool

• Acts of Sustainable Leadership

DAY 2 - 21 June

On 21 June, we will run our 101-style LGBTIQA+ awareness and inclusion workshop called Working with the Rainbow Community - A Starter Kit. This workshop is for organisations and businesses who have little to no knowledge of the LGBTIQA+ community and want to gain a foundational understanding of this community to build allyship and create a more welcoming, positive and inclusive workplace culture.

There will be two 2½ hour sessions on this day and participants choose either the morning or the afternoon session. Sessions are capped at 35 people to allow ample time for questions and discussion.
