Diversity, Manchester

Things that got us through...In this session we will lead a discussion of the support we feel we have
derived from media and the reason this was necessary. This will lead to a discussion around current support in the workplace. You will be invited to share with us a favourite item from film, writing or
other media - something that helped or inspired you (this may not necessarily be LGBT in theme).

Other ideas include (please note these may not be available at each event):

A look at LGBT influence in music, past and present. How LGBT History Month came about and how it can help us gain a better understanding of LGBT issues within the workplace. A look at the history of Trans issues. A seminar on HIV/AIDS issues.
