Pride in Education

Instagram content for Pride-Ed, Pride Circle’s programme on queer and trans inclusion in schools and colleges.

The reader who had to say yes: Parents, teachers and school leaders

The brief, as it arrived

Give parents and educators clear, kind guidance on subjects many of them had never been taught to talk about.

The problem underneath

Writing for this audience fails in two directions. Too clinical and it reads as a lecture; too soft and it says nothing a worried parent can act on.

The move

Each carousel answers one question a reader might be afraid to ask, such as how to support a trans child, why pronouns matter, or how to make a curriculum inclusive, with voices from inside and outside the queer community.

The writing

Pronouns are more than words; they’re about acknowledging and celebrating individual identities.
