• Engage in exercises that help people think through the principles we discuss and how they can apply this knowledge to their own experiences

• Workshop different tactics for making LGBTQ+ and minority gender-inclusive spaces and ways of working

• Provide time for questions and chatting

A vegetarian lunch and refreshments are included as part of this session from 13:00.

Quiplash is co-led by Amelia Lander-Cavallo (they/them) and Al Lander-Cavallo (they/them).

Quiplash works within the principles of disability justice to produce work with radical integrated access at its core and connect communities to knowledge and its roots through partnerships, and embedded training.
