More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Schools are obligated to ensure that no student is harassed based on actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. Teachers play a crucial role in preventing and stopping homophobic bullying yet they do not get adequate training on how to intervene. Creating Bias-Free Classrooms empowers middle and high school teachers with tangible solutions to harassment, bullying and hate-behavior aimed at students who identify as—or are perceived to be—lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
Activities
Creating Bias-Free Classrooms is a teacher-training program that uses professional youth actors and live, improvisational theater to equip educators to build inclusive learning environments for students targeted by homophobia.

Our vision is to create safe, equitable and bias-free learning environments for all students, regardless of perceived sexual orientation.
Project Message
Nearly 9 out of 10 LGBT youth experienced harassment at school last year. With effective training and support, teachers can change that.
