The Time is Now 汇聚·发声
ShanghaiPRIDE LGBTQ Groups Open Day is back! The Open Day serves as a platform for groups throughout the country focused on all aspects of LGBTQ to get together for networking and experience sharing. It aims to raise awareness and advocate inclusion of LGBTQ in our society. Three years ago, we started with getting LGBTQ groups only from Shanghai. Now, we have groups from 13 provinces and regions.
There are 2 modules for this year’s Open Day:
I. Showcase: There will be over 30 groups from all over the country showcasing their purpose and activities. Their focus includes same-sex marriage, transgender, campus education, public health, women issues, and hobbies.
II. Forums:
• Family Matters: Guests speakers will discuss all facets of diverse families, such as domestic violence within relationship, same-sex marriage, starting a family, etc. The forum starts at 11am and ends at 1pm. This will be followed by a Q&A session.
• LGBTQ Initiatives: Representatives of LGBTQ groups from will share their experiences in organizing events to inspire the audience. Their sharing will cover LGBTQ trainings for psychologist and teachers, de-stigmatization against LGBTQ in textbooks, university campus events, and how to work with corporates to serve the community. It starts at 2pm and ends at 4pm. There will also be a Q&A session.
