Getting started on a glossary: Jargon & Language - Working To Connect Small LGBTQIA+ Groups in Brighton & Hove 

Working To Connect is inviting small LGBTQIA+ groups’ organisers for an informal session on commonly used language, which seeks to improve our understanding and develop a shared glossary for our communities to use. 

Content will include:

• An overview of commonly used terms* used amongst charities, community groups and voluntary organisations 
• Discussion and exploration of how these vary, depending on context, location and lived experience of those who use them 
• Getting started on developing a resource for Working To Connect participants to use

The session will be ONLINE and limited to two representatives per group due to limited space. The Zoom link will be shared by 2pm on the day, please see accessibility information below.

*Some examples of terms could include: commissioning, local authority, grants, consituitional document, lead partner/partnership, third sector etc. Please submit more upon booking...
