The main objectives of the project are: 

• To create positive and inclusive environments in schools for all students regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity; 
• To accumulate teaching resources and create lesson plans based on respect to diversity, including examples of SOGI topics to reflect the SOGI diversity in students’ lives, families and society; 
• To extricate any prejudiced or discriminatory words or behaviors from teachers and students’ vocabulary; 
• To train teachers, educators and high school students on how to foster their SOGI inclusive, social and communication skills through digital technology (videos, dedicated platform, website); 

• To provide parents of students who identify themselves as LGBTQI+ with digital resources for communicating with their children in a respectful and accepting manner; 
• To sensitize and make teachers more receptive on those issues, not only towards their students but also towards colleagues and other members of society who identify as LGBTQI+. 

In order to reach these objectives, the following Intellectual Outputs (IO) will be developed: 

The New Vocabulary Handbook (IO1) that addresses one of the most important problems of the LGBTQI+ community of middle and high school students. The New Vocabulary Handbook is a dictionary-like document which contains a complete list of inclusive and accepting terminology regarding sexual orientation and gender identity topics. The handbook contains examples of these terms in an everyday context, pedagogical advice regarding LGBTQI+ students, interviews from experts on the subject and, most importantly, good and bad practices. The handbook is targeted at school educators who seek to break taboos on SOGI topics in their respective countries; it embraces all students regardless of sexual orientation and gives to discriminated ones a sense of inclusion and security within the school environment. 

New Vocabulary training course for teachers (IO2) – a complete training course for middle and high school teachers who wish to implement the project’s ideas into their teaching life. The training will introduce teachers to the structure, parts, contents, proper use and implementation of using an inclusive vocabulary inside the class for students belonging to LGBTQI+ groups. Furthermore, the training concentrates on specialised pedagogical methods to foster the inclusion of diversity students, focuses on how to deal with bullying and shows methods of prevention of discrimination and hatred. Moreover, good practices from schools and other countries will all be part of the course curriculum. 

New Vocabulary video stories (IO3) – After a training for teachers regarding the principles of filmmaking (C1), 4 teams of 5 students in each one of the 5 participating schools will be formed. Each team will be assigned a supervising teacher. Therefore, we’ll have a total of 100 students and 20 teachers participating. Each team will create a short video revolving around linguistic discrimination and (cyber)bullying towards LGBTQI+ students, addressing a specific issue and recommending solutions steaming from the handbook. All the videos will be uploaded to a specially designed online platform where viewers will be able to rate, comment and share the videos. The platform will also host information and news about the project along with the New Vocabulary Handbook itself and will be hosted also online communities for parents, teachers and students.
