Mel's Classroom Workshops
Mel is Space's Education Volunteer, a fully qualified teacher with over 20 years of teaching experience, devoted to bringing LGBT+ inclusivity to the classroom. She is offering free workshops for schools and teachers on how to start that conversation with students.
With younger children, KS1, she uses picture books to talk about the fact that families can be different but still share the same love. With KS2/3 children she gets them talking about gender and how we shouldn’t feel pressurised to behave in a particular way because of our gender. She also uses picture books to introduce what it’s like to be transgender and she talks about homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic bullying and how to stop it.
Mel also offers year group assemblies on the theme of inclusivity for all ages; staff training and 1:1 support for schools with a transitioning child.
If you are interested in Mel coming to your school, you can get in contact with her at or here!
