Building LGBT+ friendly schools across Europe
Between September 2020 and August 2023, 16 partner institutions from eight European countries have focused on the topic of “Building LGBT+ friendly schools”.
We look back on three intensive years in which a high amount of knowledge was exchanged and great material was developed, good collaborations were formed, and new initiatives were taken for further bilateral and multilateral projects. Be sure to checkout all the outputs in the menu above!
Our publication A Little Respect? LGBT+ Perspectives on Education from across Europe summarises the findings of these studies.
As the project evolved, we realised that many initiatives were being carried out, and are still being organised. But we are also aware that there is still a lot of work to be done. We are confident that our project’s results will be a significant contribution to the evolution on this topic.

Project Summary
All Inc! promotes inclusive education by bringing together pupils, (trainee) teachers and the wider school community to build LGBT+ friendly schools. All Inc! is active in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Poland, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom.
In each country, a university and secondary school will partner with pupils to co-create visions for LGBT+ friendly schools and supporting ‘tools for schools’. A virtual ‘human library’ will be built to share LGBT+ stories with the wider school community, and with young people across Europe.
All Inc! fördert inklusive Bildung und Erziehung, indem Schüler*innen, (angehende) Lehrkräfte und alle, die mit Schule zu tun haben, gemeinsam daran arbeiten, LGBT+ freundliche Schulen zu schaffen. All Inc! ist in Belgien, Deutschland, Griechenland, Ungarn, Polen, den Niederlanden, Spanien und im Vereinigten Königreich aktiv.
In jedem dieser Länder gehen eine Hochschule und eine weiterführende Schule eine Partnerschaft mit Schüler*innen ein, um gemeinsam Visionen für LGBT+ freundliche Schulen zu entwickeln und umzusetzen: Dazu gehören u.a. direkt einsetzbare Materialien für den Unterricht („tools for schools“), sowie eine virtuelle Sammlung von LGBT+ Biographien („human library“) für Jugendliche überall in Europa und alle, die mit Schule zu tun haben.
All Inc! promueve la educación inclusiva acercando al alumnado y el profesorado, así como a la comunidad educativa en un sentido amplio, para construir escuelas sensibles a la diversidad afectiva LGBT+.
En cada uno de los países participantes (Bélgica, Alemania, Grecia, Hungría, Polonia, Países Bajos, España y Reino Unido), una universidad y un centro de enseñanzas medias actúan en tándem con el alumnado para crear visiones de una escuela sensible a la diversidad LGBT+ así como herramientas educativas de apoyo. Se desarrollará una “biblioteca humana” virtual para compartir historias LGBT+ con la comunidad educativa y jóvenes en toda Europa.
All Inc! Προάγει τη συμπεριληπτική εκπαίδευση, ενώνοντας μαθητές/τριες, εκπαιδευτικούς (εκπαιδευτές/τριες) και την ευρύτερη σχολική κοινότητα για τη δημιουργία σχολείων φιλικών προς τα ΛΟΑΤ+ άτομα. All Inc! δραστηριοποιείται στο Βέλγιο, τη Γερμανία, την Ελλάδα, την Ουγγαρία, την Πολωνία, τις Κάτω Χώρες, την Ισπανία και το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο.
Σε κάθε χώρα, ένα Πανεπιστήμιο και ένα σχολείο δευτεροβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης θα συνεργαστούν με μαθητές/τριες για να συν-δημιουργήσουν οράματα για σχολεία φιλικά προς τα ΛΟΑΤ+ άτομα και να υποστηρίξουν «εργαλεία για σχολεία». Θα δημιουργηθεί μια εικονική «ανθρώπινη βιβλιοθήκη» για να μοιραστούν ΛΟΑΤ+ άτομα ιστορίες με την ευρύτερη σχολική κοινότητα και με νέους/ες σε όλη την Ευρώπη.
Az All Inc! projekt célja elősegíteni az inkluzív oktatást azáltal, hogy keretet ad a tanulók, a tanárok és tanárjelöltek, valamint a tágabb iskolai közösség számára olyan iskolai közeg kialakítására, amelyben az LMBT+ személyek otthon érzik magukat. Az All Inc! projekt Belgiumban, Németországban, Görögországban, Magyarországon, Lengyelországban, Hollandiában, Spanyolországban és az Egyesült Királyságban valósul meg.
Minden országban egy egyetem és egy középiskola működik együtt a diákokat érdemben bevonva, hogy közösen fogalmazzák meg vízióikat, és támogassák olyan eszközök kialakítását, amelyekkel e fenti célt az iskolák elérhetik. Ennek érdekében például virtuális „élő könyvtárat” hoznak létre, amely révén a tágabb iskolai közösséggel és Európa-szerte a fiatalokkal válik megoszthatóvá számos kapcsolódó LMBT+ (élet)történet.
All Inc! bevordert inclusief onderwijs door leerlingen, docenten, ouders en de bredere gemeenschap samen te brengen om LGBT+ vriendelijke scholen te creëren. All Inc! is actief in België, Duitsland, Griekenland, Hongarije, Nederland, Polen, Spanje en het Verenigd Koninkrijk.
In elk land werken een universiteit en een middelbare school samen met leerlingen om een visie voor een LGBT+ -vriendelijke school, en ondersteunende ‘tools for schools’, te ontwikkelen. Via een virtuele ‘human library’ worden LGBT+ verhalen gedeeld met de bredere scholengemeenschap en met jongeren in heel Europa.
All Inc! Promuje edukację inkluzyjną, angażującą uczniów, nauczycieli (stażystów) oraz szerszą społeczność szkolną w budowanie szkół przyjaznych LGBT+. All Inc! działa w Belgii, Niemczech, Grecji, na Węgrzech, w Polsce, Holandii, Hiszpanii i w Zjednoczonym Królestwie.
W każdym z tych krajów uczelnia wyższa i szkoła średnia nawiązują partnerstwo z uczniami, aby współtworzyć wizję szkół przyjaznych LGBT+ i wspierać ‘narzędzia dla szkół’. Zbudowana zostanie wirtualna ‘ludzka biblioteka’, aby dzielić się opowieściami o LGBT+ z gronem szkolnym i z młodymi ludźmi w całej Europie.
