November 24, 2022

RRC Polytech – Winnipeg Pride Parade, 2022

Gender and Sexual Diversity Awareness Workshop #1 – Understanding Gender and Sexual Diversity

As we have navigated our family upbringing, schooling, and personal relationships in different socio-cultural contexts, we may have learned and understood gender and sexual diversity, and the experiences of 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans-identified, Queer, Intersex, Asexual/Ally, + – All sexual and gender minorities), in different ways. 

This introductory workshop aims to update our framework and terminology around gender and sexual diversity, as well as expand our understanding and advocacy. 

All on-campus participants will be provided snacks and beverages, along with a chance to win a door prize! Register today for your chance to win!
