Q+ EDU: Meeting the Needs of LGBTQ+ Students

LGBTQIA+ youth have unique needs that often fail to be met in the current educational system. What started as a panel for SXSW EDU 2020 grew exponentially that summer, as we imagined what the world would look like if schools actually met the needs of LGBTQIAP2+ students. Now a highly anticipated annual virtual event, all Q+ EDU sessions are recorded and available for free!

Under the broad and overlapping categories of Student Leadership, Parent Support, Education Advocacy, Queer Sex & Relationships, and Queer Life, we tackle everything from Centering QTBIPOC in Your GSA to Navigating Power Differentials in Romantic Relationships to Queer-Friendly Approaches to Religion. See for yourself what we’ve been up to, and feel free to share your favorite sessions with everyone you know!
