Pride Schools Week takes place between Monday 23rd and Friday 27th June this year.
Always the last week of June, it remains an important part of our Norwich Pride calendar. Young people are a key part of our event and we are always proud to see the joy and confidence with which they take part.
Over the past decade, LGBTQIA+ inclusive education has moved forward in huge strides and it’s been magnificent to see so many local schools taking part – the number increasing year on year and the range of activities becoming prouder, bolder and more colourful. Young people, organising in pride clubs have increasingly led the way alongside their out LGBTQIA+ teachers and allies.
Here are some things that all schools can do:
- Hold your own Pride Week in school
- Do assemblies and form-time activities
- Invite LGBTQ+ Project in to run a stall
- Hold a rainbow bake sale
- Advertise your Pride Club, or set one up if need be
- Have a LGBTQIA+ themed book club or film in your library
- Spotlight queer people in the curriculum
- Tell everyone about Norwich Pride in July
