Why it matters and how to talk to children and young people about diversity – even when they’re not speaking directly about themselves? Workshops for Accenture

During the workshop we conducted for Accenture, participants engaged in exercises based on real-life scenarios – situations where a child asks a difficult, emotionally charged question without openly sharing the identity. In small groups, we explored how key parenting practices – such as active listening, unconditional acceptance, and clear signals of support – can work in real life. The session was enriched by the personal story of a mother of a transgender son, who shared her journey: from uncertainty and fear to deep understanding and pride.

We are grateful to the Accenture team for inviting us to lead a workshop for parents – and for aunts, uncles, and all family members who have children and young people in their lives. Thank you for your attentiveness, openness, and willingness to engage in difficult conversations. Thanks to your involvement – and your decision to invest in this workshop – something more than just knowledge and skills has been strengthened. The energy from this training room will ripple outward – into local communities. It will become safe spaces, tender conversations, and small actions that make a big difference.

Through the trainings and workshops we provide for companies, we raise funds to launch the second edition of the “Wspólnymi Siłami” Fund. This fund supports grassroots groups working for LGBT+ people across Poland – especially in places where large organizations or systemic support don’t reach. These funds help us provide:

• a support group for transgender teenagers,
• meetings for parents who are trying to understand their child’s coming out,
• psychological support
• and a space where people can finally be themselves.
