Genders and Sexualities Alliance (GSA)

International School Breda

We have recently set up a student-led GSA, a gender-sexuality alliance. The aim of the GSA is to play a key role in creating a more inclusive and accepting school environment, promoting diversity, and supporting the well-being of LGBTQ+ students and their allies, such as implementing policies that protect the rights of LGBTQ+ students within the school and providing a supportive environment for students of all gender identities and sexual orientations where individuals can express themselves without fear of discrimination or bullying.

  • Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: The GSA is actively involved in organising this year’s Purple Friday, a day on which pupils and students can show their solidarity with LGBTIQ+ people by wearing the colour purple at school. The aim is to educate the wider school community about various gender identities, sexual orientations and LGBTQ+ issues. A poster campaign is underway to announce the event, a competition to see who will wear the most purple has been created (and publicised) and COC Nederland, the oldest existing LGBT organization in the world, has been contacted to provide badges and armbands to help create awareness, foster empathy and promote inclusivity.
  • Onderwijstype: Voortgezet onderwijs
  • Waarom zijn jullie hier trots op?: A GSA helps build a sense of community among students. Our students' effort in setting up such a group signifies their commitment to fostering a sense of belonging for all individuals within our school community.
  • School: International School Breda
