This experiential workshop invites participants to actively engage with key issues and challenges related to gender identity, aiming to broaden and enrich their understanding of gender and equality across the full spectrum of gender identities and expressions. Together, we explore themes of gender, sexuality, and stereotypes, examine inclusive and respectful terminology, and address the realities of homophobia, transphobia, and gender-based violence experienced by LGBTQIA+ individuals—through a psychosocial and gender-aware lens. The session also introduces strategies for recognising and responding to discriminatory or abusive language and behaviour, including homophobic and transphobic bullying or harassment. Ultimately, the workshop supports participants in identifying and challenging gender-based biases and stereotypes, and encourages them to apply this learning within their personal, professional, and social environments to foster greater inclusion and respect for all identities.

How can we begin to dismantle microaggressions toward LGBTQIA+ individuals? Creating a truly inclusive and welcoming workplace means addressing not only overt discrimination but also the subtle, often unconscious biases that show up in our everyday language, behaviours, and assumptions. In this workshop, we will explore how microaggressions manifest in communication—particularly within the Greek language—and examine the ways in which unconscious bias can affect our interactions with LGBTQIA+ colleagues and clients. Participants will gain practical tools and inclusive communication strategies to foster more respectful, supportive, and equitable environments for all.
This seminar moves from theory to practice: no matter your role within an organisation, how can you actively contribute to building a safe and genuinely inclusive workplace for LGBTQIA+ colleagues? We’ll explore the difference between meaningful inclusion and pinkwashing, and unpack the concept of performative or “tick-box” allyship. Through practical tools, real-world examples, and honest reflection, participants will learn how to take intentional, responsible action that supports lasting, positive change—ensuring that inclusion for LGBTQIA+ individuals is embedded in everyday culture, not just surface-level messaging.
This interactive seminar is designed for HR professionals as well as all employees within an organisation, offering guidance on how to create a respectful, inclusive, and supportive working environment for trans individuals and those of marginalised genders. The session includes a comprehensive psychoeducational introduction, combined with an open Q&A format that encourages active participation. The aim is to build understanding, dispel harmful stereotypes, and provide practical knowledge that helps eliminate discriminatory behaviours or assumptions. Participants will leave with greater awareness and confidence to contribute to a workplace culture where all gender identities are acknowledged, respected, and included.
