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.
