Jewish communities are diverse and there is no single approach that will work for everyone. KeshetUK works in partnership with communities to identify their goals, then we tailor our support so they can achieve them.
KeshetUK workshops use a mixture methods to understand how LGBT+ inclusion can work in Jewish communities. They are interactive and create a space where any question can be asked.
Currently, our basic training allows participants to review the use of language, consider the perceived access points or barriers to participation of Jewish LGBT+ people in Jewish life, and have practical conversations about scenarios that are relevant to your organisation.
As part of our Community Life Programme, we are in the process of creating a training menu - which will offer a variety of one hour sessions on different themes that we have been requested by the community for. Topics such as language, trans inclusion, allyship and how to help when you witness something and you're not sure what to do. If you're interested in being involved in the piloting of these modules. Please also get in touch for more information.

"I’m very grateful for the training from KeshetUK carried out across Kisharon. The sessions were both enjoyable and educational. Dalia is a very approachable facilitator, and the sessions have definitely helped us in our aim of creating understanding and a pro-active, inclusive and welcoming environment for all – people we support, their families, employees."

"The training we received from KeshetUK was invaluable to ensure members of the LGBT+ community feel welcome in our organisation. In recent years CST has engaged with more LGBT+ people than ever before and working with KeshetUK, we want to ensure this continues to grow. CST knows better than anyone what it’s like to be discriminated against, and we will stand shoulder to shoulder with everyone who wants to fight any form of discrimination. The training our staff received was not only informative, but allowed us to ensure our policies and procedures are appropriate for every member of the community. We will continue to engage with KeshetUK and wish them every success in the work they do."

"A high quality training which enabled us as a team of professionals to reflect, challenge and review our own assumptions, knowledge and practice in relation to LGBT+ children, young people, families we support and continue to improve in our efforts to be a truly inclusive organisation. Would recommend to any organisation that works with people in an empowering and supportive way."
