It takes all kinds

Combating discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity in the school centext in nine European countries.

This report is based on the project: It Takes All Kinds: Fighting Homophobia in Schools (ITAK), which was financially supported by the European Commission and conducted by the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR) in close collaboration with its ten European partners – Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) NGOs in Latvia, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Romania, Bulgaria, Spain, Portugal and Ireland.

The main goal of the project is to positively influence the practices and attitudes of school children, adolescents and their teachers towards the LGBT community. To achieve this goal, the DIHR and its partners have developed, implemented and disseminated educational tools and materials on equal treatment and non-discrimination.

By targeting schools directly and developing educational materials that promotes learning about human rights, equal treatment, and sexual and gender diversity, the ITAK project hopes to enable school personnel and students to respect human rights; implement equal treatment standards; give students and teachers the necessary knowledge, competences and skills to promote and protect human rights and human dignity.
