EXCITING COMPETITION FOR MARCH 2018!
We are calling on teachers to take action in their classrooms to celebrate the diversity of people and families in Ireland and to address homophobic and transphobic bullying in schools.
The theme of this year’s competition is Different Families, Same Love
Families are at the heart of all our lives. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some families have a mother, some have a father, some have a mother and father, some have two mothers, some have two fathers, some children live with other family members like grandparents or aunts and uncles while some families have no kids (just grown-ups). Some children are born into their family while others are adopted or fostered. Sometimes families
live together and sometimes they might live in different places. A family is when people love and take care of each other.
Prizes
- iPad for your class
- Raffle for €100 voucher for all participating teachers
