This year’s LGBTIQ+ Conference brings together people and organisations from the queer community in Switzerland to not only discuss migration justice and anti-racism, but to put them into practice together. We’ll start with an input talk on the topic and then work in various workshops.
The Conference is free of charge for you as an activist*.
