Event Description

Building grassroots LGBTQ+ communities outside of major cities

Join us for one of the culminating event of Out There Queer Fest, where we spotlight the powerful work of LGBTQ+ community leaders in and around Exeter. This engaging session brings together passionate individuals who have dedicated themselves to building and sustaining vibrant LGBTQ+ groups in smaller cities and towns.

In this insightful panel discussion, we'll explore the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ people in finding and fostering community outside of larger cities. Our speakers will share their experiences, revealing the strategies and successes that have helped their groups thrive.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into what makes a community group successful, along with practical guidance on navigating the complex political and social landscape that often accompanies LGBTQ+ organising. Whether you're looking to start a new group, strengthen an existing one, or simply want to learn more about the dynamics of LGBTQ+ communities in smaller settings, this event is for you.

Don't miss this opportunity to connect with local leaders, share experiences, and be inspired by the resilient spirit of the LGBTQ+ community.
