We are now taking bookings for our LGBTQ+ Mythbusters to visit Year 12 and 13 students who attend a Partner or KMPF school.
LGBTQ+ Mythbusters are students who go into secondary schools to speak to students candidly about their experiences, both in terms of their sexuality and/or identity, their coming out process and also about University life in broader terms.
Mythbusters are put into teams (minimum two per team) and allocated to a group of approximately 30 students. Students ask their questions anonymously by writing them on post-it notes and submitting them. The Mythbusters then pull the questions individually and can choose whether or not they wish to answer them. All groups are supervised by a teacher from the School.
The aim is for young people to be able to ask questions in a safe and supportive environment that they may not previously have felt comfortable or able to ask, to find out more about life in University for someone who identifies as LGBTQ+ and also to ask questions about their own experiences and emotions that they may be unsure about from someone who truly understands what it is like.
