U R Not Alone - A Film made by Twenty10 Young People and ReachOut with sponsorship from the Community Relations Commission.
September 2010, a group of young people came together for a series of Video Workshops facilitated by ReachOut.com and Twenty10 with sponsorship from the Community Relations Commission.
Young people had ongoing discussion about their experiences growing up and 'coming out', how these experiences shaped thier identities, what would've been and was helpful for them to combat the impacts of homophobia. They learnt how to capture ideas with a camera and a microphone.
These were combined to create the U R Not Alone video!
Watch the Video & read the Blog created by one of the workshop participants here on ReachOut.com
Twenty10 Gender Identity Poster
Twenty10 has a poster promoting gender diversity. The text on the poster reads:
"Wherever you and your gender sit, there is a place for you.
Gender, sex and sexuality are not black and white.
If you are under 26 and identify as transgender, intersex of gender-queer
or are exploring what gender means for you, Twenty10 can help you
access the support and information you may need."
This poster is a great one to have up in your service or consultation room to ensure that people feel comfortable and welcome to talk about their gender identity or issues they may be having.
