Our over-arching aim is to make our schools safe and inclusive for everyone. To do this we need:

1. To provide both a formal and informal support network for all people who want to raise the issue of homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and heterosexism in education.
2. To campaign on lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans issues as they affect education and those in education.
3. To research, debate and stimulate curriculum development on LGBT issues.
4. To work towards unison between teacher and lecturer unions and other professional stakeholders in education
5. To promote equality, safety and visibility in education for LGBT people and all the protected characteristics

Rights Against INtolerance: Building an Open-minded World (RAINBOW) project.

These films and the accompanying lessons challenge homophobia and transphobia by challenging the stereotypes that lead to prejudice and discrimination. The project was developed in the Basque Country, the UK, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Bulgaria.
