Hearts & Histories – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Each and every one of us is the product of our own personal histories. For older and old LGBT+ people, the things they’ve experienced over the decades might look really different to what you’re used to. After all, many of them will have lived in a time when it was illegal or dangerous to live authentically as themselves. Which means that they might not interact with you or your service in the same way other clients do, or they might need different support than you usually offer. So to help you understand where the people you interact with now are coming from, EMBRACE a Culture of Inclusion has produced this podcast, Hearts and Histories, in partnership with the Shropshire Rainbow Film Festival. Over the five episodes, we've be speaking to six incredible older and old LGBT+ people who currently live in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin. They’ll be openly sharing their own personal stories; reflecting on how those experiences have made them the person they are today; and considering how that might alter how they interact with the world. Our hope is that by listening to this, you’ll be able to better understand the older and old LGBT+ people you interact with as part of your work.
