The Pride @ Dickinson Safe Zone Program seeks
to create a safer and more inclusive campus environment for all members of the
campus community by reducing heterosexism, homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia. Through
the training program and the display of Pride @ Dickinson stickers, the program
creates a visible and supportive network of lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, and ally members of the campus community who have a basic
knowledge about issues of sexual orientation and gender identity and are able to
provide support and referrals to members of the campus community.
Training Expectations and Outcomes:
Pride @ Dickinson Safe Zone trainings are
composed of two required sessions – each lasting 1.5 hours (total training is 3
hours), and discuss a variety of topics that will help you become a better ally
and support to members of the LGBTQQI community.
After attending the Pride @Dickinson Safe Zone trainings,
participants will be able to:
- Define and describe common concepts and
language relating to sexuality and gender identity
- Explore the experience of homophobia,
heterosexism and genderism
- Identify
specific actions to create welcoming, affirming and inclusive space for people
marginalized by their sexuality and/or gender identity
- Display the Pride @ Dickinson symbols - inclusive of program signs and buttons as well as be listed on our resource page
Upcoming Training Session(s):
Note: You must attend a session one and session two to be a Pride @
Dickinson member. Sessions are limited to 30 participants
