Lessons Learned
Each teacher training institution will produce a set of recommendations, in their own language, on how to build LGBT+ friendly schools. Following the testing of the didactical materials (O5), teacher training institutions will refer back to the research conducted at the start of the project, reflect on the visions and materials produced throughout the project, and consider the evaluation findings. Placing teacher training institutions at the centre of this output will encourage teacher trainees to actively engage on these issues, and to critically reflect on their own opportunities as challenges once they enter the teaching profession. As such, All Inc! will offer them an innovative opportunity to not just learn, but help
shape the development of their profession in this area.
These recommendations will consist of 2-3 pages and will target three levels:
- Macro: strategies that umbrella organisations or national education authorities may wish to consider in order to better support and strengthen LGBT+ friendly schools.
- Meso: practical steps schools can take to protect its LGBT+ staff and pupils and to create a more inclusive and more ‘All Inc!’ atmosphere for all.
- Micro: specific actions teachers and pupils can take in the classroom to be more mindful of diversity and more supportive of the LGBT+ community, both inside and outside of the
school gates.
From these sets of country-focused recommendations, a set of ‘European recommendations’ will be distilled for publication and dissemination in English. All materials will be made
available on the All Inc! Hub, and will remain available for at least 5 years after the close of the project.
