Stories are incredibly powerful, and even a short story has the power to start meaningful change. In each 'Pride & Progress Bite, we hear from an LGBT+ educator or ally, each sharing a short story of pride & progress from their school or community. 

'Pride & Progress Bites' are released weekly as a podcast, and they are available as a video below on this page - if you require subtitles, please click the link to watch on Youtube. 

The series is ongoing - if you have a bite-size story of pride & progress which you'd like to share in your own episode - get in touch, we'd love to hear your idea.
