The INTO LGBT+ Teachers’ Group are delighted to confirm the winners of the Different Families, Same Love competition for 2024.
To mark International Family Equality Day (IFED) and International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT) we asked teachers to take action in their classrooms between the 5th and 17th of May to celebrate the diversity of people and families in Ireland and to address and prevent homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying in schools. The response was fantastic and we can now confirm our Different Families, Same Love 2024 winners!
