RAINBOW INCLUSIVITY 101
Workshops & Presentations
FUN & INFORMATIVE
This captivating session dives into understanding and supporting our Rainbow communities with empathy and compassion.
Our world's societies and cultures are constantly evolving.
Sometimes changes occur at such a rapid pace it can leave us feeling confused or frustrated.
Or maybe we think we’ve got a handle on it, then in the blink of an eye the goal posts move.
But take heart, you’re not alone!
Although I'm Queer, I still find it tricky to keep on top of it too!
I'll demystify the following topics, to assist you when engaging with LGBTTQIA+
-
Gender Identities
-
Discrimination
-
Stereotyping
-
Unconscious Bias
-
Sexuality
-
Terminology (i.e. LGBTTQIA+ and more)
-
Pronouns
-
Gender Inclusive/Neutral Language
Then choose to include one or both (or neither) of the following:
-
Funerals: Transgender Respect
-
Marriage: Rainbow Clients -Tips
You’ll be in a learning environment of encouragement, positivity, and safety with some fun bits thrown in for good measure!
This 2-hour session is a combo of presentation and workshop with some great (& at times provocative) interactive elements aimed at helping you explore and expand your knowledge bank. Bring your curiosity and openness and leave this workshop with newfound awareness and the tools to create an inclusive environment for all.

"Andi has such a vibrant, warm energy that flows through everything she does.
Her plenary presentation at the CANZ Conference '23 in Ōtepoti-Dunedin was immensely informative, inspiring, clarifying and gently challenging.
Andi used clear, colourful graphics on screen to share loads of helpful concepts, facts, and information.
Her understanding and lived experience of the Rainbow Community brings such a wealth of aroha and knowledge to her sessions.
You will come away up-skilled on gender inclusive language and knowing how to be an ally of the Rainbow Community, if you aren't already! "

“I recently attended Andi Harness’s Rainbow Inclusivity 101 session. What a wonderful presentation it was. Andi is warm, intelligent
and engaging.
She approached this complex topic with commitment, humour and understanding. She created a safe space for all of us to ask questions
and discuss our own experiences.
Her session and her practical resources gave me more confidence in working with my rainbow clients. Thanks, Andi!”
