Intergenerational Pride Circle

When: July 6th 1:30-3:30

Where: The Garry Oak Room at the Fairfield Gonzales Community Association

Who: 2SLGBTQ+ youth 16+ and adults/seniors.

Facilitator: Lexi Mcewen

What: The Intergenerational Pride Circle will create an inclusive and safer space where 2SLGBTQ+ youth and seniors/adults can connect and craft together. The craft offered will be beaded word Pride bracelets; However, participants are welcome to bring their own craft to the space if the proposed one does not interest them. This will allow everyone to participate in their desired way and have an activity to do during discussions. Tables will have a few discussion questions and ice breakers available to encourage socializing, storytelling, and relationship building. This circle is intended to facilitate connections between different generations of 2SLGBTQ+ people to strengthen our community, build understanding of each other's experiences, learn about 2SLGBTQ+ history, give younger generations a chance to know their elders and imagine their own futures, and give older adults/seniors a space to pass on knowledge.
