Award Recipient
Different Families, Same Love
The recipient of this year’s category was Different Families - Same Love. Run by the INTO LGBT+ Teacher’s Union, the event took the form of a competition which challenged primary school teachers to be more inclusive and to confront homophobic and transphobic bullying. Competition entries included paintings, poems, plays and stories, with the overall winner a class from Hansfield Educate Together who created their dream Pride.
This ceremony marked the competition’s third successful year, and they have been honoured by the GALAS for their innovative and fun activism for children. The group were delighted to win the award, thanking INTO for all their support, and stating in their speech: “We want to support the teachers in primary schools, and we want to support the pupils as well.”
