- LGBT+ History Month

UK LGBT+ History Month is Every February

We are now gearing up for LGBT+ History Month 2021!

As you can see from our front page, the theme for next February is ‘Body, Mind, Spirit’ and as for the last few years, is linked to a National Curriculum subject. We are visiting PHSE for a second time.

Free resources will again be available, and we will be adding many more so visit both the general resources and the specific 2021 tabs.

Information and free posters supporting the theme are here.
The Proud Trust work book that supports the 2020 theme is here. They will be publishing the 2021 version in due course.

Given our current pandemic situation we can’t take anything for granted so we are exploring how to be flexible and thinking of new ways of communicating. Keep an eye on the website and our social media.

We will have reports of events that the Schools OUT UK committee attend in OUTburst so do subscribe or look at it here. Check out our LGBT History Month Facebook to find podcasts, webinars and videos exploring our LGBT+ness.

In the meantime, we hope you keep safe.
In solidarity The Schools OUT UK team

In February and March, we have supported a very exciting, informative and celebratory month, to educate out prejudice and make LGBT+ people visible in all their rich diversity.
