The theme for IDAHOT 2016 is ‘Mental Health and Wellbeing’.

Canterbury event

The Development Office will be hosting an event for the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT) day on Tuesday 17 May.

Staff will be challenged to wear as many colours as possible (a prize given to the winner).

There will also be rainbow cakes and staff are encouraged to bring in their rainbow treats too.

IDAHOT will provide an opportunity to collectively amplify the message that ‘what young people really need to be protected from is homo/trans/bi-phobia’.

Medway event

Come to University on Tuesday 17 May wearing as many colours as possible.

If anyone would like to bring in any colourful refreshments to share (cakes, sweets, drinks etc) that would be great.

There will also be a donation box in G0-05 if you would like to make a contribution towards fundraising for METRO, a registered charity who run a free counselling service for LGBT+ young people across London, Kent and Medway.
