Create safer Spaces

Resources

There are many ways to create inclusion in your school and community. Consider the following ideas or share your with us at: info@dayofpink.org and we will add them to our tool kit.

Some of our favourite ideas include:

  • Wear pink on every second Wednesday of the year to celebrate Day of Pink. Get your friends, family, colleagues and peers involved too!

  • Organize an easy activity or fundraiser like an office lunch, a bake sale, a dress down fundraiser or even just an office announcement.

  • Organize a learning activity by bringing in a speaker (we can suggest some), show an educational video or documentary & have a discussion.

  • Volunteer in the community by reaching out to a local 2SLGBTQIA+ organization and volunteer your time, and encourage others around you to do the same.
