Do you have LGBT+ lived experience?
Want to explore what it means to bring your identity into work - and how to make our University even more inclusive?
Join the Edinburgh Napier University LGBT+ Role Models Programme!
Being a role model means different things to different people. Within Edinburgh Napier’s LGBT+ network, we align ourselves to one of the definitions of a role model provided by Stonewall:
“A role model is aware of their potential to influence others and intentionally exercises that influence for the purpose of helping to create a more inclusive workplace”.
Our LGBT+ role models work within Edinburgh Napier University and strive to make our workplace an inclusive environment for all. Our diverse range of role models provide support within the University community, enabling people to connect, as well as helping to create a culture which allows people of all sexualities and gender identities to thrive. In addition, our role models support challenges of homophobic, biphobic and transphobic behaviours.
Our role models are active members of our network with LGBT+ lived experience and have committed to a personal development programme exploring what it means to be a role model. Our role models celebrate difference and encourage colleagues to join and celebrate our diverse University culture, creating a positive shared environment, which encourages both personal and professional development.
