You are responsible for the overall coordination of the "Lehrplan Q" network and sensitize school management, teachers, education politicians, and education departments to the relevance of LGBTIQ topics in schools. In doing so, you will work closely with the various partner organizations. Furthermore, you will be involved in a new project to sensitize youth organizations and open youth work to the needs of LGBTIQ youth and can contribute your personal expertise in this area.

Your tasks
