Each event starts with a screening of a compilation video that centres the stories of 2SLGBTQIA+ older adults (55+) and highlights stories of activism and DIY community building practices. A moderated discussion will follow that focuses on the hopes and needs of the older adult 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, and encourages grassroots initiatives.
Although the events focus on older adults and seniors, people of all ages are welcome.
