Alphabet Soup: Certificate Crashcourse on Diversity in Sex, Gender, and Sexuality

Sex, Gender, Sexuality and Orientation play an important role in the formation of our identity. But with all the information and perspectives available, understanding these concepts can become quite the challenge. This interactive crashcourse will be conducted by our resident expert, Dr Pragati Singh who is a renowned Public Health Professional, Global Asexuality Thought Leader and Founder & Director of Indian Aces.

Pragati will take you through the basics of the gender and sexuality spectrums, including, but not restricted to the LGBTQIA++ alphabet soup through discussions, debates, games, and activities, in a completely safe space, with no right and wrong.

This course is perfect for lay persons, educators, counsellors, teachers, parents and everyone who is looking for ways to understand their own experience, and that of others, better. Digital certificates will be provided to all participants.

And after the workshop, join us for the OFFICIAL OPENING PARTY for the PanACEa:Asia Asexuality Conference!
