Description:

On Monday 24th March Ljubljana Pride will host a skillbuilding workshop on ‘Exploring and Deconstructing Biases in the LGBTIQ+ Community’

The purpose of the workshop will be to explore and understand the concepts of prejudice, stereotype, and discrimination, and to reflect on personal experiences related to these concepts and their connection to the LGBTIQ+ community

Through this workshop participants will:

1. Understand the definitions of prejudice, stereotype and discrimination and learn how to differentiate them

2. Learn to identify categories that cause societal divisions and understand their impact

3. Reflect on personal experiences of being stereotyped or stereotyping others, with an emphasis on being part of the LGBTIQ+ community
