Safe Zone at UT is an educational workshop series focusing on:

• Basic language and terminology related to gender and sexuality
• Awareness and understanding of the intersections of gender, sexuality, and other social identities
• Skills to intervene in situations of discrimination and injustice
• Knowledge about LGBTQ+ resources available on UT’s campus.

Safe Zone is open to all current faculty, staff, and students at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Tier 3 – Skills consists of one 2 hour workshop consisting of 45 minutes of small group scenario-based roleplaying/acting inspired by campus life followed by a large group debrief discussion. There are no alternative activities to complete in lieu of the unscripted roleplaying/acting, as that is the point of the training. This session requires a camera and a microphone. If you are not able to have these items for your session, we encourage you to sign up at a later date when you are able to acquire them.

After participating in Tier 3, session participants will be able to:

• advocate for LGBTQ+ populations by analyzing a situation and providing resolutions to issues based on sexual orientation and gender identity
• express greater empathy and confidence in how to support LGBTQ+ populations on campus
