Lukas Berredo
Lukas Berredo is a sexual and gender diversity advocate and educator, and the co-founder of TRANScending Borders. He was born and raised in Brazil, and lived in Chile for seven years, where, by the age of 21, he founded the Support Group for Transmen. He soon joined the NGO Center of Sexuality Studies, a.k.a. Movement for Sexual Diversity (MUMS), and became the youngest of the directors, as well as the coordinator of its Communications team. Since 2007, Lukas has been giving multiple lectures, trainings, and workshops, and contributing to several studies on gender, sexuality, diversity, and human rights, as well as to different reports, articles, educational materials, and other publications. Lukas is graduated in “Social Communication", has a diploma in "World Politics", and a Master’s Degree in “International Relations and World History” at The University of Nottingham Ningbo China, where he currently lives.
Paulina and Lukas will conduct a small-scale study to measure the impact on the participants of the sexual and gender diversity workshops they have been developing in East Asia. During the following months, through TRANScending Borders, they will continue offering trainings to parents, educators, and university students interested in learning about sexual and gender diversity. They will compile the materials and learning experiences they use, and will continue improving the trainings with the learnings from the LGBT Health Policy & Practice Program. This process aims at positioning TRANScending Borders as an organization that advocates for sexual and gender diversity through offering trainings and resources for families, educators, and schools in the region.
