SUMMARY:Pride Connects: Civil disobedience (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:Second meeting: 22. 03. 2022 \nTime: 18:00 – 20:00 \n“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.” \n\n\n Rosa Parks \n\n\n“Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state becomes lawless and corrupt.” \n\n\nMahatma Gandhi \n\n\n“We can’t save the world by playing by the rules\, because the rules have to be changed. Everything needs to change – and it has to start today.” \n\n\nGreta Thunberg \n\n\nFrom the Bus Boycott of Rosa Parks\, the sit-ins of the Civil Rights movement in America\, Mahatma Gandhi’s Salt March\, and most recent actions in the back lives matter movement and climate movement – civil disobedience has often played a crucial role in bending unjust and corrupt politics and society toward justice. What do these acts which we refer to as civil disobedience have in common? What distinguishes them from other forms of conscientious and political action? And how effective are they really?\n\nCivil disobedience is commonly understood to be a public\, non-violent breach of law intended to bring a change in law or current politics. (Rawls 1999\, 320).\n\nIn these times\, where the need is growing to set against unjustful\, corrupt and destructive politics\, we want to take the March to explore the topic of civil disobedience with all its facets.\nThe 8th of March is coming and so is Women’s* Day. The Event will be splitted in two parts – Tuesday the 8th of March we will go to the Women’s day protest. We will protest for women’s* rights at 16.00 at Kongresni square!\nThe second session\, happening on the 22th of March at 18.00 at Dunajska 10\, focuses on civil disobedience and its history\, its theory of six distinctive elements\, and your own experiences and questions.\nTo register send an email to wendla@ljubljanapride.org.\n\nThese events are primarily aimed at young LGBTIQ+ activists and our allies. They usually take place at Ljubljana Pride’s office\, at Dunajska cesta 10 in Ljubljana. The space is wheelchair accessible. The events will be held in English due to English speaking facilitators. However\, we can always help with translation and summing up in both languages\, if you feel more comfortable expressing yourself in Slovene.\n\nAt the events\, we will take into account all preventive measures to contain the epidemic\, such as wearing masks\, disinfecting and washing hands and maintaining mutual distance.

SUMMARY:Pride Connects: I'm queer and the planet is dying! Should I vote? Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Im queer and the planet is dying! Should I vote?\nAbout the importance of voting in times of global warming and backlash of LGBTIQ+ rights \nThis year\, in 2022\, we will have triple elections in Slovenia – many young people will have the opportunity to vote and directly participate in our democracy for the first time. Among these\, many are LGBTIQ+. In this election\, we do not only have to worry about the development of LGBTIQ+ rights\, but also about how the new government will deal with the pressing issue of climate change and global warming. Fact is: LGBTIQ+ are among the first people in the world to be affected by the consequences of climate change. \nPride Connects will dedicate February to connecting these topics. Together we will find out why voting is essential as a young queer person\, why environmental activism and LGBTQ+ activism have a strong connection and – most importantly – why voting and political participation is not boring and dry\, but active and transformative! \nAt the first event\, we will discuss the connection between being queer\, environmentalist and a voter. We will analyze the three upcoming elections and their meaning and implications for politics and we will take a look at Glas ljudstva’s environment related demands. \nAt the second\, more practical event\, a sustainability activist will join Pride Connects so we can discuss questions and topics that arose in the previous event. Together we will design our own statements\, messages or quotes that will be used for further Youth Programme activities (hint: queer crafts!) \nTo register\, please send an email to wendla@ljubljanapride.org. \nThis event is aimed at young LGBTIQ+ people and will take place at Ljubljana Pride’s office\, at Dunajska cesta 10 in Ljubljana. The space is wheelchair accessible. The event will be held in English. \nAt the event\, we will take into account all preventive measures to contain the epidemic\, such as wearing masks\, disinfecting and washing hands and maintaining mutual distance. Event participants must meet the RVT (recovered / vaccinated / tested) requirement. \nThis event is organized within the Sustainable activism project and is financially supported by the European union.

SUMMARY:Pride Connects: “Do my clothes define me?” Part 2
DESCRIPTION:How do you dress and how does your style define you? \n  \nAccording to research\, people spend around 9.5 months of their lives choosing their clothes.

SUMMARY:Pride Connects: LGBTQ+ short movie “Run”
DESCRIPTION:“Run” – Short movie night and discussion  \nAt the Pride Connects on 7. 12. 2021 we will watch the short movie “Run”\, which has been created by LGBTIQ+ highschool girls. The producer will be present and share with us the process of the movie – from the first inspiration to the script writing\, filming and editing. Together we will analyze scenes of the movie and come up with creative  ideas on how a different end could look like. We open up the topic of being unaccepted as a young LGBTIQ+ person and name different possible outcomes than escaping by creating our own storyline. \nThis is the description of the movie:  \nTrina is a young girl who runs away from her family\, from society\, from herself. All her life she has been listening to how wrong it is if you don’t like the opposite gender. Katja moves into her street\, with whom she soon becomes more than just friends. Trina is divided between family and society and her own identity. The film shows the real situation of young people who are part of the LGBTIQ + community. \nTo register\, please send an email to wendla@ljubljanapride.org. \nThis event is primarily aimed at young LGBTIQ+ people and will take place at Ljubljana Pride’s office\, Dunajska cesta 10\, 1000 Ljubljana\, Slovenija. \nAt the event\, we will take into account all preventive measures to contain the epidemic\, such as wearing masks\, disinfecting and washing hands and maintaining mutual distance. Event participants must meet the RVT (recovered / vaccinated / tested) requirement. \nThe event will be held in English.

SUMMARY:Pride Connects: My Gender Expression
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever thought about what gender expression means and how do you express yourself? Connected to the Transgender awareness week\, this Pride Connects offers the opportunity to reflect on your gender expression. We will use different methodologies to reflect on our gender expression in the context of social norms. We will explore our feelings and desires about gender expression through conversation and through artistic expression. Through that you might find out how satisfied you are with your own gender expression and how much you adapt it to social norms. \nThe workshop will be facilitated by our new ESC volunteer Filip Vurnik who is also the co-author of the publication Rainbow in the pocket. \nThe workshop will be held in English. \nYour workshop preparation and materials: \n\n\nbring     different objects that can be anything from sunglasses\, earphones\, to a candle\, and a notebook; \n\n\nbring     materials you like to work with\, like felt tip pens\, pencils\, plasticine. \n\n\n(If you can’t bring any of these things we will provide material!) \n\nTo register\, please send an email to wendla@ljubljanapride.org. \nThis event is primarily aimed at transgender\, non-binary and gender nonconforming young people and will take place at Ljubljana Pride’s office\, Dunajska cesta 10\, 1000 Ljubljana\, Slovenija. \nAt the event\, we will take into account all preventive measures to contain the epidemic\, such as wearing masks\, disinfecting and washing hands and maintaining mutual distance. Event participants must meet the RVT (recovered / vaccinated / tested) requirement. \n// \n\nWe are organizing the event within the youth project DecontRamination\, with the aim of raising awareness of important commemorative days and activating young activists.

SUMMARY:Online Conference: DEAR FUTURE VOLUNTEERS
DESCRIPTION:It is our pleasure to invite you to the online conference DEAR FUTURE VOLUNTEERS that will be held online on ZOOM platform from November 16 – 17\, 2021.  \n  \n  \nHence\, the conference will accelerate a space to examine different approaches while promoting the concept of inclusive organizations and their volunteering practices as tools for intercultural understanding and solidarity in Europe.  \n  \nThis way\, the event stands against xenophobia\, homophobia and racism in NGOs and local communities through creation of inclusive environments and respect of all peoples human rights.   \n  \nThe conference involves three (3) panels which will offer various perspectives to different questions such:  What are the democratic mechanisms that can support volunteering as a tool to build more inclusive societies and enable access to rights? What are the challenges and who bears the responsibility in today’s volunteering trends? What are the stories of global volunteers? What action have they been participating in? What changes and challenges volunteering brought to people’s lives? \n  \nYou can register for the conference by filling out the form. \n  \nAgenda:  \n  \nNovember 16\, 2021\, 12:30 – Volunteering for Inclusiveness \n  \nGlobal cooperation of volunteer organizations brought together many opportunities for young people all over the world. The European network of volunteer organisations for decades now have been promoting inclusiveness\, solidarity and cooperation while shedding light on specific issues as part of the volunteering causes. \n  \nNovember 16\, 2021\, 18:00 – There is no I in volunteer \n  \nFor centuries people have been sharing stories as a\, social and cultural means of sharing and preserving values\, hence the personal angle of volunteering has its own specific merit. People w \nwho have experienced volunteering practices both mid and long-term have testified that those experiences changed their lives or at least created significant memories that will last forever. Hearing stories of volunteers from all over the world has an enormous motivational effect as well\, as it provides today’s activists with a possible idea for tomorrow’s volunteering. \n  \nNovember 17\, 2021\, 10:00 – The Future of the (Inclusive) Volunteering  \n  \nWe will present the summary of recommendations on how volunteering could be (even) more accessible and inclusive. We will present and use those recommendations in the process of the Conference on The Future of Europe. The presentation of recommendations will be followed by a discussion with the decision-makers about the possibilities of their implementation and an open discussion with the participants.  \n  \nWorking language will be English. \n  \nThe conference DEAR FUTURE VOLUNTEERS is a part of the project “Volunteering as a tool for inclusive society” supported through the Europe for Citizens programme which aims to build intercultural understanding and solidarity through activities engaging local communities into practices of inclusive volunteerism.  \n  \nThe conference is organized by Youth Initiative for Human Rights (Serbia) in cooperation with  Pride Parade Association (Slovenia)\, Loesje (Germany)\, INAR (Ireland)\, and Youth Initiative for Human Rights (Croatia). \n  \nDeadline for applications: Nov 10\, 2021

SUMMARY:PRIDE CONNECTS: Trans Day of Visibility - Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Pride Connects is organising a writing workshop aimed at trans* folk. This event will take place at 16:00 – 18:00\, on March 23rd 2021\, at a for-now-undisclosed live location. To register for this event\, please send an email to  asja@ljubljanapride.org.\n\nTo commemorate this year’s Trans Day of Visibility\, Pride Connects is hosting a writing workshop aimed at trans* folk\, with a vision to bring the trans community together in an opportunity to creatively express ourselves regardless of our skills or previous experiences with writing. We believe that it is important to create trans*-only spaces where we can feel safe(r) exploring our creativity and its political potentials.\n\nIn a world divided into subjects – those that have the right to define their own reality – and objects – those whose reality is defined by their relationship to the subjects – \, the act of writing can be an act of becoming one’s own narrator\, author and authority on one’s own reality and history. In this writing workshop\, we will look at the practice of autoethnographic writing as an example of a method of reclaiming agency over representations of one’s own reality. Autoethnography at its very core defies the division into categories of subject and object of writing and instead embraces a fluidity and a commitment to refiguring normative discourses. Taking lessons from this practice\, we will look at how we can use aspects of this methodology in making our own contribution to raising visibility of the local trans community.\n\nInspired by stories of Koroska Pride’s outdoor sunrise poetry readings and a desire to celebrate the beginning of Spring\, we have decided to move this workshop into the IRL sphere and meet at a for-now-undisclosed (if weather permits) outdoor location somewhere in Rožnik to spend a sunset writing together\, taking the narratives about us in our own hands and feeling again as a part of our city.\n\nThe facilitation of this event will happen in English\, although participants are encouraged to write in any language they feel most comfortable with. We are organizing the event within the youth project DecontRamination\, with the aim of raising awareness of important commemorative days and activating young activists.\n\n(We use an asterisk at the end of “trans” as a shorthand to refer to a variety of identities that are diverse but share the common denominator of not being a cisgender man or cisgender woman. Trans* is explicitly inclusive of non-binary\, agender\, genderqueer\, gender fluid\, third gender\, and other non-cisgender identities.)\n_________________________\n With ‘Pride Connects’\, we strive to connect the local LGBTIQ+ youth\, activists\, and all those interested in the political side of Pride(s) and LGBTIQ+ Human Rights Struggles in Slovenia and across the world. We know that being an openly LGBTIQ+ person and existing in any public space is a political act\, and we know it is not easy – so we want to create a safe(r) space for all LGBTIQ+ people and a place of empowerment.

SUMMARY:PRIDE CONNECTS: Accountability and Shame
DESCRIPTION:Pride Connects is organising a workshop on the topic of accountability and shame.\n\nThis event will take place online on Tuesday\, 23rd of February\, from 6 to 8pm. To register\, please send an email to asja@ljubljanapride.org.\n\nThe past two Pride Connects events we have been talking about the ways in which we in the queer and activist communities currently approach conflict and thinking about how we can make those ways less harmful both to the individuals involved and the community as a whole. In this process\, we have looked at what we can learn from transformative justice practices and what conditions might be necessary to be ensured in order to build healthier communities. In continuing this vein of inquiry\, the upcoming Pride Connects will look at the affect of shame: what is it\, how we feel it\, what to do about it.\nTransformative justice practitioners often single out shame as one of the biggest obstacles to taking accountability. When we are told that we have done something that is not in alignment with our values and sense of self\, we often enter into a shame spiral that\, on a physiological level\, prevents the nuanced and attentive thinking that is required in an accountability and repair process. This is why the shame-based tactics we often see used in order to demand accountability from someone do not work; as Mia Mingus and others often point out\, “We need to move away from ‘holding people accountable’ and instead support people to proactively take accountability for themselves.”\n\nIn this workshop\, we want to take a small step in the direction of creating conditions for proactive accountability by trying to educate ourselves on how we\, both as people who have been harmed and as people who have harmed others\, can be affected by shame\, how to move through the feeling of it and what place it has or doesn’t have within our conflict-resolution strategies.\n\nThis event will be in English and is open to anyone with an interest in the topic\, regardless of whether you have attended the previous Pride Connects events.\n__________________________\nWith ‘Pride Connects’\, we strive to connect the local LGBTIQ+ youth\, activists\, and all those interested in the political side of Pride(s) and LGBTIQ+ Human Rights Struggles in Slovenia and across the world. We know that being an openly LGBTIQ+ person and existing in any public space is a political act\, and we know it is not easy – so we want to create a safe(r) space for all LGBTIQ+ people and a place of empowerment.

SUMMARY:PRIDE CONNECTS: Transformative Justice Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Pride Connects is organising a discussion group on the topic of transformative justice on February 9th\, 6-8pm.\n\nTo register\, please send an email to  asja@ljubljanapride.org.\n\nPreviously on Pride Connects…\n\nLast week at our PRIDE CONNECTS: “Why Are Queer People So Mean To Each Other?” Reading & Discussion Group\, we talked about the ways in which our communities could be improved in terms of how we deal with disagreements\, misunderstandings and conflicts. In this upcoming discussion group\, we wish to create space to take those conversations further and in the direction of practical tools for how to make our communities and movements more resilient.\n\nIn this discussion group we will look at some texts and videos by prominent thinkers on- and practitioners of transformative justice\, and we will think together about how to implement some of their work within our own contexts. This will not be the two hours in which we solve all that is difficult within queer and activist communities – but it will hopefully offer us an introduction to some concepts and tools from transformative justice that we can take with us into our organising and our everyday lives.\n\nIt is not neccesary to have participated in the previous event in order to join this one.\n\nThe event will take place in English.\n_____________________________________\nWith ‘Pride Connects’\, we strive to connect the local LGBTIQ+ youth\, activists\, and all those interested in the political side of Pride(s) and LGBTIQ+ Human Rights Struggles in Slovenia and across the world.\n\nWe know that being an openly LGBTIQ+ person and existing in any public space is a political act\, and we know it is not easy – so we want to create a safe(r) space for all LGBTIQ+ people and a place of empowerment.

SUMMARY:PRIDE CONNECTS: “Why Are Queer People So Mean To Each Other?” Reading & Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Pride Connects is organising a reading and discussion group titled “Why Are Queer People So Mean To Each Other?” on January 26th\, 6-8pm.\nTo register\, please send an email to  asja@ljubljanapride.org.\n\nIt’s hard to find someone who doesn’t enjoy the occasional sprinkle (or outburst) of queer/activist drama in our communities – it keeps things interesting and the stories flowing. One can’t deny\, however\, that the conflicts we have and how we handle them are not always the most conducive to achieving our common goals or the most aligned with our (individual or collective) political values. Any close-knit community or group is bound to experience some turbulence occasionally\, but when interpersonal disagreements and grievances get in the way of us doing our work\, it is good to ask the question: why are we so mean to each other?\n\n“Why Are Queer People So Mean To Each Other” is the title of an article by the Canadian trans writer and performer Kai Cheng Thom. In her writing\, Thom reflects on how the (collective) trauma queer folks internalise through the sheer fact of existing in a fundamentally hostile world finds its way into our interactions within our communities. This can result in less than helpful ways of approaching conflict-resolution\, instances of which can leave our communities deeply wounded and divided.\nIn the upcoming Pride Connects\, we will take Thom’s writing as the starting point to look for resonances of this trauma-thinking in our own communities\, and to try to start thinking about ways to do conflict differently. This way\, we can learn how to build stronger communal ties and a sturdier movement for social change.\n\nIt is not necessary to read the text in advance to participate in the reading and discussion group; however\, if you are curious\, you can find it at the following link:\nhttps://www.dailyxtra.com/why-are-queer-people-so-mean-to…\nThe event will take place in English.\n_____________________________________\n With ‘Pride Connects’\, we strive to connect the local LGBTIQ+ youth\, activists\, and all those interested in the political side of Pride(s) and LGBTIQ+ Human Rights Struggles in Slovenia and across the world.\n\nWe know that being an openly LGBTIQ+ person and existing in any public space is a political act\, and we know it is not easy – so we want to create a safe(r) space for all LGBTIQ+ people and a place of empowerment.

SUMMARY:PRIDE CONNECTS: Non-Monogamy Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Pride Connects is organising a Non-Monogamy Peer-to-Peer Support Group with the topic of jealousy.\n\nThis event will take place on Tuesday\, 12th January\, from 18:00 to 20:00. To register\, please send an email to  asja@ljubljanapride.org.\n\nIt sometimes feels like jealousy is the most talked-about thing when it comes to thinking about organising our relationships in non-monogamous ways. Yet\, somehow\, it seems that the literature on it doesn’t always succeed in addressing the full extent of the awfulness it can bring with it and it often feels that the remedies it offers don’t go beyond a kind of independent self-reliance that doesn’t work for everybody. As queer people and as people with multiple intersecting marginalised identities\, we can often face obstacles that are different from those addressed in the mainstream discussions on non-monogamy. This peer-to-peer support group aims to create a space for us to vent\, complain\, rage\, offer validation\, and try to share and come up with new ways of dealing with these hard feelings.\nThis event is aimed at\, though not exclusive to\, people who have experience or interest in non-monogamy. The topic will\, however\, be approached from a non-monogamy perspective.\n\nThe event will be in English.\n______________________________\nWith ‘Pride Connects’\, we strive to connect the local LGBTIQ+ youth\, activists\, and all those interested in the political side of Pride(s) and LGBTIQ+ Human Rights Struggles in Slovenia and across the world.\nWe know that being an openly LGBTIQ+ person and existing in any public space is a political act\, and we know it is not easy – so we want to create a safe(r) space for all LGBTIQ+ people and a place of empowerment.

SUMMARY:Pride connects: Self-Care Zine-Making workshop
DESCRIPTION:Pride Connects is organising a zine-making workshop with the topic of self-care.\n\nTo register\, please send an email to asja@ljubljanapride.org.\n\nThis event will take place online via ZOOM.\n\nSelf-care does not always have to be about bubble-baths and scented candles; more often than not\, it’s about keeping promises to ourselves and learning how to say no.\nIn this workshop\, we will exchange some of our thoughts on and practices of self-care\, and use that conversation as a starting point for getting creative together. And since being creative and in community with each other can be a form of taking care of ourselves\, this will be a zine-making activity on self-care\, as self-care!\nBy the end of the event we will hopefully have learned some tips and tricks to help us through the gloomy winter days and the scariness of the world\, and have a tiny zine to show for it!\n\nThe event will be in English\, with a Slovene-speaker present for support if needed.\n\nWith ‘Pride Connects’\, we strive to connect the local LGBTIQ+ youth\, activists\, and all those interested in the political side of Pride(s) and LGBTIQ+ Human Rights Struggles in Slovenia and across the world.\n\nWe know that being an openly LGBTIQ+ person and existing in any public space is a political act\, and we know it is not easy – so we want to create a safe(r) space for all LGBTIQ+ people and a place of empowerment.
