    This year, many young people suffered a double lock during the confinement decreed by the COVID-19 by confining themselves with parents who do not accept them because of their sexual or gender condition (El País, 2020). This situation has aggravated their mood, as they did not find recognition in their environment, and they continued to suffer LGBTIQphobic harassment through social media (FELGBT, 2020).The LGBTIQ+ collective is socially excluded due to their identity and sexual orientation, hindering their social and community relationships, the exercise of their rights and their economic status (Landman, 2006). Despite the progress made in recent decades in the recognition of their rights, social discrimination continues to affect them on across basis. It is necessary to recognize that violence directed at the group is a daily reality that cannot remain hidden or unattended. UNESCO (2015) points out that one of the most frequent reasons for school violence has to do with perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. In Spain, data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs (2018) shows the existence of discrimination for these same reasons, being, with the 20%, the third most reported cause of hate crimes, and the first among the young population, with the 39,4%. As for Italy, this year numerous hate crimes were documented, including two murders, and the data published by Arcygay indicates an increase in these crimes compared to 2019, going from 119 to 187 cases. On the other hand, in Portugal, 83% of students witness or are victims of homo-bi-trans-interphobia discrimination (Rede Ex Aequo, 2019), and the entry into force of the law that allows changing gender in marital status without a medical diagnosis since the age of 16, it caused 27,000 people to sign to revoke it.LET ME KNOW is a cooperation for innovation project that aims to strategically associate professionals and young people from LGTBIQ+ entities to create and to develop a new creative methodology derived from Photovoice, which gives a voice to the group by making visible and denouncing situations of discrimination that they face daily, promoting their inclusion through art.GENERAL OBJECTIVE: to develop a new methodology to facilitate the visibility of the daily difficulties faced by the LGBTIQ+ collective through social photography.SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:0.1.
