Inclusive Classroom Project - Let's Collab

 Hi,

 
I hope you’re well.
 
I’m reaching out to share an invitation to get involved in an exciting new project called Inclusive Classroom – a creative and community-led programme exploring the heritage of queer education in the UK.
 
We’re bringing together educators, learners, youth workers, organisers, and allies for a series of participatory workshops, intergenerational dialogues, and recorded interviews. The goal is to reflect on lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ inclusion (and exclusion) in education — and to create public storytelling outputs that celebrate, challenge, and document these histories.
 
Participants will be able to get involved in different ways:
  • Storytelling workshops (in person): sharing and exploring lived experience
  • Intergenerational dialogue events (in person): cross-generational conversations on queer education
  • One-to-one recorded interviews (online): for those who’d like to share their story in more depth
Each in-person activity includes a £50 stipend for participants. Oral history recordings are remote, flexible, and supported by our team.
 
The project will result in:
  • A 6-part podcast series based on the themes below
  • A pop-up public exhibition
  • A digital archive hosted in partnership with the Bishopsgate Institute

Podcast Themes:

  1. Solidarity in the Staffroom – unions and collective resistance in education
  2. Our Own Curriculum – POC-led queer organising and community learning
  3. Borders and Blackboards – international and diaspora experiences of queer education
  4. Learning in the Margins – zines, workshops, peer education, and creative learning spaces
  5. The Language of Inclusion – evolving language, identity, and policy
  6. Future Lessons – intergenerational reflections and radical imagination
If you or anyone in your network would be interested in participating in the workshops, contributing a story, or being part of the podcast, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re open to collaboration and would be happy to jump on a Zoom to discuss further.
 
Thanks so much for your time — looking forward to connecting.
 
Warm wishes,
 
Ruby
