LGBT Youth Project

27th May, 2010 to 15th Jun, 2010

This project focuses on LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) heritage and the impact of World War II and the holocaust on the LGBT community.

Surrey Heritage and Nikki Parkhill, Surrey County Council's Youth Development Worker - LGBTQ, are working with a group of 4 young people to plan an exciting residential project for 12 other young people which will happen later in this year and into 2011.

The young people will be travelling to Krakow, Berlin and Amsterdam and visiting the only 2 LGBT memorials in the world. When they return, they will putting together workshops and information packs for schools to use in history and citizenship lessons in conjunction with Holocaust Memorial day in January 2011. They will also be working with Surrey Heritage to add their work to the LGBT archive there and establish an Oral story of young LGBT people in Surrey.
