The Centre for HIV & Sexual Health in Sheffield has recently launched a new DVD - 'OUT THERE!' which is now available to order. 'Out There!' highlights the positive aspects of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) lives, and can be used in both formal and informal education or training settings i.e. within PSHE or SRE in Schools, Equality and Diversity Training or any other work with groups which includes LGB issues.
The DVD provides positive images and case studies of lesbian, gay and bisexual people, using real life abstracts and focussing on people's hobbies, passions and daily activities - their normal lives. The DVD is accompanied by a training guide and can be used to promote a more positive and balanced image of lesbian, gay and bisexual people.
"One of the best resources I have ever seen on this subject." - Kim Wilson, PSHE Lead.
