Free workshops, sessions, and hangouts to learn something, share something, or just be around others. * Launching and activating our physical space Qommunity Room: a meeting and reading space for curated books, zines, publications and magazines exploring the queer topic. * Supporting the weekly Open Door for LGBTQI+ folks seeking asylum in Belgium: to increase their access to basic rights, incl. healthcare, housing etc.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
