Creative Responses to Education and Equality

This year's Trans Community Conference 2010 will be held at:

Central School of Speech and Drama

Embassy Theatre

Eton Avenue, London NW3 3HY

Friday 16th July 2010 9am - 6pm

The Trans Community Conference 2010 is a one-day gathering featuring a series of workshops for members of the trans community from across the UK, as well as professionals who work with the trans community. The trans community includes family members, partners and lovers and friends and allies. The conference will celebrate our diversity of identities and knowledge, as well as the different groups, organisations and projects that our community offers.

This year's conference hopes to take a more creative approach to the themes of education, equalities and diversities, policy and practice, political activism and work carried out in the voluntary and community sector.

As our host is Central School of Speech and Drama, we will be disseminating various projects that have used art, drama, applied theatre, voice work, and creative writing as practical measures that educate and work towards equality, including encouraging body positivity for trans people and their loved ones, and finding ways of getting our voices and stories heard.

We will also be hearing from those who use creative tools as a way into the education and discussion around gender diversity.

"Volunteering was a hugely positive experience for me, allowing me to meet a massive variety of people and have confidence in myself amongst them." (Trans Youth Volunteer)

"It was nice to feel appreciated and valued and not degraded or patronised due to age/appearance/volunteer status… the best bits of volunteering was when the work was done and we could take part in the workshops and performances… I'd do it again for sure!" (Trans Youth Volunteer)
