🌈 Exciting News! Diversity Role Models has hit a major milestone, reaching 200,000 young people through our impactful school workshops. 🎉 This wouldn't be possible without the incredible support from the Department for Education, corporate partners, and - most importantly - over 300 dedicated volunteers, staff, and educational partners who believe in the power of storytelling to create positive change. Our vision is clear: a world where diversity is embraced, and we can end LGBTQ+ bullying. Since 2011, we've impacted over 200,000 lives, working with nearly 1,000 schools and training 20,000 school staff. The results speak for themselves: 100% of students reported learning valuable lessons, and 96% of primary school pupils committed to respecting differences. But we're not stopping here! 🚀 Diversity Role Models is setting our sights on reaching 300,000 young people. With continued support, we can expand our reach and create an even more inclusive future. Let's build a world where every young person knows they belong and can thrive just as they are. 🌈💙🌍 #DiversityRoleModels #teachers #students #teacher #teacherlife #teaching #school #student #antibullying #lgbtq #schools #stopbullying #education #children #lgbtpride #learning #college #love #classroom #lgbt #queer

11moWow. What an achievement! This is fantastic. That’s 200,000 young people’s lives changed, and 20,000 teachers who will be better equipped with knowledge and skills to change even more lives without you all there to guide them. I wish Diversity Role Models had been around for me and my teachers when I was at school. And been there for me when I was a teacher so I could have felt more able to be a role model for my students as a gay teacher.
