LGBT Officer Residential
NUS LGBT Campaign has delivered training to hundreds of LGBT activists over the past two years via the LGBT Activist Training Days. But some of you have been telling us that you want more in depth training - to learn how to better represent your students, to campaign more effectively and to find out more about LGBT student issues.
We have responded to this by developing the first ever LGBT Officer Residential, a two-day training event taking place in Sheffield on August 20-21. The aims of the event will be to train student LGBT leaders to:
- identify the issues for LGBT students in your institution
- represent LGBT students in your institution and union
- plan and run effective campaigns to improve LGBT students' experiences of college and university.
Different student leaders will have different job roles, but if the above training looks like something that could help you in your role of representing LGBT students, then apply now!
Places are limited to 30, including 10 free FE places and 20 subsidised HE places (£50 each including accommodation, meals and training). Unions can only send one person each, and applicants will be assessed on what they can bring to the training as well as what they will learn from it.
The deadline for applications for HE delegates has now closed. Applications from FE LGBT student representatives has been extended until Monday, July 27 at 10 a.m . Please return your completed form to lgbt@nus.org.uk or fill in an online application. Successful applicants will be notified by July 27. Applications received after this date will not be considered.
