| Coming Out Spaces What is a coming out space? A coming out space is a safe space where you reflect on your journey at Pink Training. Discuss, ask questions and engage with your community. The ‘Coming Out’ refers to coming out into the world after Pink Training with your learnings, memories and friendships with our lovely facilitors. You are free to roam within different spaces- you’re not tied to the one space! We kindly ask that the privacy of a communities space be respected. |
