About the EduGuide

Each of the 6 lesson plans in this guide come with a variety of questions and activities to explore. It’s perfect for a GSA group or club meeting, during family night, in a classroom, or anywhere inclusivity is encouraged. It’s intended for those in middle or high school, but can be adapted for audiences of all ages.

Finding Pride was made in collaboration with Journeys in Film, a nonprofit organization harnessing the storytelling power of film to educate the most visually literate generation in history.
