Empowering Queer Youth through Media & Culture

Building on our successful seed-funding project, focusing on increasing awareness on digital security and safer online practices in the LGBT+ community in Uganda, the proposed project will build on the lessons learned to not only scale up but also to expand the methodological toolbox.

This collaborative project will include two new cultural methods for empowerment and human rights advocacy and result in the construction of a new multimodal webpage. The two methods are “Living Libraries” and “Legislative Advocacy Theatre”. The webpage will include a digital repository of community stories and experiences as well as training modules for more active awareness raising in the queer community in Uganda and beyond.
