A summer school for lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) young people will take place in London from 18 to 22 August, after the success of a pilot project set up last year.
The summer school, which is organised by PACE, a London-based provider of services to the LGB community, will offer under-25s the chance to take part in a variety of classes such as drama, writing and self-defence.
It will also provide practical support and advice to the young people on issues such as coming out to their families and dealing with homophobia.
Social events and a film club will also be run as part of the school.
Peter Algacs, PACE youth service manager, said: "We are the only school of our kind in the UK and offer a unique experience for all young LGB people, where they can get support and advice and have fun in a safe and positive environment."
