Pride 2021
Pride 2021 has arrived at the SU!
It is June and that means Pride/LGBTQ+ Month. We know it’s difficult at the moment to get together and that we are unable to do any in person events for all our campuses this year; we know many marches and external events have been called off due to health and safety as well
This does not mean that we cannot celebrate or raise awareness of Pride and the LGBTQ+ Community. Here at UWTSD SU we aim to be as inclusive as possible and we want to make sure that any students at UWTSD who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community still get to have Pride from home, and break down any barriers of isolation casued by the pandemic.
What are we doing?
Free Pride Pack
We will be giving out 50 packs first come first served that will include the following items:
- A mask or flag of your choice
- Eco-friendly body glitter
- Pride-themed Stickers
- Pride-themed temporary Tattoo
- A personalised postcard with helpful links and info on upcoming Pride event dates at UWTSD SU.
Our packs have been sourced mindfully, they will be sent out in compostable bags and the contents have been purchased from LGBTQ+ owned businesses wherever possible.
Inspiring Talk
We will also be offering all students the opportunity to attend a motivational and inspiring talk from a UWTSD lecturer who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community. The talk will be around the middle of June, and will cover the topic of Pride and Queer activism. When we have more details for you, the event will be made available here. So keep your eyes peeled!
Film Night
Lastly, we want the community to come together, how can we do this? We will be hosting a Pride-themed Film night on the evening of the 30th of June.
The site we use allows students to communicate through a chat function during the film which will be specific to the LGBTQ+ community, this could be a great opportunity to make new friends and have a fun evening with new people.
The film will be chosen through a vote. You can follow this link to find out what films are on offer and sign up for the event to make your selection. Like any good and fair democracy, the highest voted film will be chosen.
Liberation Networks
Why not all join the LGBTQ+ Liberation Network and use this to communicate afterwards? This is also a virtual safe space where campaigns and education can take place, as well as making allies with other students at UWTSD.
So get your glitter out, put your stickers and tattoo on, wear your mask with pride in public and display your flag at home or wherever you want to take it! And if you have time, send us a selfie so that we can show the love for PRIDE off to everyone our content reaches. We are proud to be able to offer the above Pride opportunities and can't wait to see you all involved!
