What is Skeiv Kompetanse Ung

A pedagogically prepared workshop

Queer competence UNG is our competence programme aimed at young people in schools. It consists first and foremost of a professionally based and pedagogically prepared workshop, which we offer to schools in Oslo, Eastern Norway and to some extent nationally. This lasts 90 minutes and is adapted to 9th grade and up to Vg3. The content is also adapted to reception classes and the like with varying levels of language comprehension. In addition, on request, we hold competence-enhancing lectures for teachers and staff internally, based on the needs of the school and our capacity.

Working together

Subsidisers

Thanks to our donors, we offer this free of charge so that those working in schools have us as a resource in their work on this topic, which we recognise is much needed.

Collaboration with schools

We establish ongoing co-operation agreements with the schools we visit, who welcome us back as a regular part of their annual calendar.
