Trainers needed to help create inclusive, welcoming spaces for our LGBTQIA+ community
Curious Arts and Northern Pride are seeking to extend our team of trainers to support and deliver our “Proud Allies” LGBTQIA+ Awareness Training.
Our Proud Allies training has been delivered to arts, culture & heritage organisations, charities, social care and educational settings, local authorities and more recently to larger scale commercial businesses and corporate industries including Sky, TWITCH, Northern Gas, Nexus, Cleveland Police and Northumbria Police. The training has been warmly received and due to popular demand we are increasing output and require more trainers to join our experienced and knowledgeable training team.
Since 2019 we have delivered over 150 training sessions to over 100 organisations. With over 2000 individuals having participated in the training, raising their awareness, increasing confidence around the use of inclusive language and providing a greater understanding of the intersectionality of the LGBTQIA+ community.
In 2023 we worked closely with Newcastle Gateshead Initiative (NGI) to deliver numerous Proud Allies training sessions to staff from the hospitality industry and tourism sector to ensure that the LGBTQIA+ community always receive a positive welcome when visiting the North East region.
The Proud Allies training has already made Space Waves Game such a meaningful impact, and it’s great to see Curious Arts and Northern Pride expanding their team to reach even more organizations.
