Transformative workshop on gender inclusion, designed to empower individuals and institutions to create welcoming spaces for all, regardless of their gender identity or expression. This workshop is designed for a diverse range of participants, including service providers, establishments, schools, practitioners, government agencies, and other institutions.

Throughout the session, we will focus on four primary objectives that emphasize the importance of everyday conversations in fostering a culture of gender inclusivity. By exploring innovative approaches and opening dialogues, we aim to equip attendees with practical tools to support individuals both within and beyond their daily lives. This workshop welcomes individuals from all backgrounds and experiences, recognizing the importance of intersectionality in understanding gender inclusion. By fostering an inclusive and supportive environment, we aim to facilitate meaningful connections and empower attendees to become advocates for gender inclusivity in their communities.
