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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information about this opportunity, please contact <a href=\"mailto:D.C.Worthington@kent.ac.uk?subject=LGBTQ+ Mythbusters\">Debbie Worthington<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are now taking bookings for our LGBTQ+ Mythbusters to visit Year 12 and 13 students who attend a Partner or KMPF school.
