You’ll have time to reflect\, write\, and share (only if you want to) with others in the room. All materials are provided — just bring yourself. \n\nWorkshop led by Ibukun Olumoroti\nOrganised by Queer Global\, this event creates space for participants with pride and power\nFree to attend\n No writing experience needed\nOpen to LGBTQ+ Global majority which includes people of colour\, migrants\, asylum seekers and refugees\n\nThis event is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund\, with thanks to National Lottery players. \nAccessibility \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \nCovid safety at the Centre \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the Centre if they are feeling any Covid-19 symptoms including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough and chills. \nYou can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.
