Fri 5.9. from 3.30PM to 6PM Creative workshop: Heard, seen? – Queer students in higher education
Lähde, B 339 (Virta)
What is everyday life like for a queer student in higher education? What does it look like, feel like, sound like? At the workshop hosted by Nyyti ry’s QueerMieli (QueerMind) -project you can shape your own story of what it is like to be a queer student in a safe environment. Does your experience find itself in the shape of a comic, drawing, poem, or even a watercolor painting? You can approach your story through creative means suitable to you. The guided warm-ups relate to creative writing and visual arts. In this workshop we follow Nyyti ry’s principles of a safer space. More information.
