Stonewall School & College Role Model videos

At Stonewall, we know how important visible role models can be for lesbian, gay, bi and trans young people. For those young people who aren't LGBTQ+, hearing from an LGBTQ+ person helps to build empathy and understanding.

Use these videos with your students as a stand alone activity or as a starting point for a discussion.
