Since last year's QSAs, I have graduated University and moved to Nottingham to start my PGCE. I have loved my teacher training so far and I am excited to begin a career working with young people on a much larger scale. Being able to see the ways in which school environments and cultures are changing to support young LGBTQ+ people is fantastic and I can't wait to keep getting involved in projects supporting the community both within schools and my University. I have been organising events with the PGCE LGBTQ+ Network Group and have plans to work with the Pride groups in my placement schools this year - watch this space! Back in Durham, the Queer Awareness Project is successfully up and running for another year under new management! I believe that recognition for the project at the QSAs played a significant role in its getting recognised by the University as its Best New Volunteering Initiative.
