During this research-based session educators will gain an understanding of what queer joy looks like in public school settings and how it can be best harnessed to support mental health and wellbeing. This session will be interactive through discussion, brainstorming, and provocations. Sarah and Darren hope to engage the participants through joy, storytelling, and research to celebrate queer identities in schools.
