Approach
So, how do you approach the challenge of introducing LGBTI-topic in your classes?
We like to make the comparison between a universe and a multiverse. A multiverse, in contrast to a universe, revolves around several ideas and opinions. If you want to discuss LGBTI-topics in your class room, you want to create a multiverse, where multiple ideas can co-exist.
How do you accomplish this?
There are several aspects that you should take in to account and which will be discussed in this e-learning.
- The framing of a topic. Which side do you highlight? How can you create connections with other topics?
- The dialogue. You want to make sure you have a conversation with each other, not against each other.
- Questions: how do you pose questions to your students and how do you handle theirs?
- The roots of your students, how do you respect those?
- Language. How do you provide the students with the correct language?
These five aspects will be discussed throughout the next chapters.
Good luck!
