A summary

Queertopia is a free education event that seeks to advance students' awareness and engagement with LGBTQ+ themes and voices, through creative engagement. This ispart of Black Sheep Collective’s national lottery-funded, annual arts festival,
QueerAF.

The aim of the event is to bring together young people from Milton Keynes to connect, question and share perspectives on Freedom, Identity and Togetherness.
The event will offer young people the opportunity to creatively engage with these
themes through a variety of spotlight sessions and activities. The sessions vary in
content and tone, but all will open up creative expression. Young people will develop autonomy, be encouraged and supported to share their sense of self, inspired to find commonalities with others and carve a new tribe of self-motivated, empowered young people.

Cancellation policy

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience is an educational activity, and the ‘14-day cooling period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
