Youth Club Activities - Gay History Month

6 mins read Youth Work
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) History Month takes place every year in February. Vanessa Rogers shares her ideas on discussing sexuality with youth groups.

LGBT LIFE STORIES WARM-UP

Aim: This activity highlights the fact that some LGBT young people find it hard to share personal information when getting to know new people for fear of prejudice or bullying.

You will need:

- A sheet of flipchart (prepared in advance)

How to do it: Ask the young people to choose a partner, picking someone to work with that they don't know particularly well.

Now set them each a five-minute task to take turns in finding out as much as possible about their partner. They must discover things that can be shared appropriately with the whole group.

Just before they start, tell them that there is a list of things that they are not allowed to talk about. Pull out the flipchart paper you prepared earlier and stick it up with this list on.
