26. CSD Dortmund
Be a part of CSD and set an example for equality and solidarity! As part of the demonstration, you will be standing up for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community 🏳🌈. At the street party afterwards, you can discover lots of new things, meet great people and, above all, have fun! Happy Pride 🥰🌈
Queerer Brunch
Brunches are great anyway - and then there's the chance to meet new people and chat openly? We think that's unbeatable! Enjoy your meal 😋!
Queerer Tresen
Would you rather stand at the bar or sing karaoke fervently? Or both? Off you go to the queer bar 🥳🎤! This is the perfect way to open the weekend 🏳🌈.
Queer Times
Have you been looking for a place to come together and exchange ideas for a while? At Queer Times you can meet inspiring people, share your own story or simply gather experiences. We think that's wonderful 🌈!
Queerer Treff
The queer meeting place brings people from the LGBTQIA+ community together and creates a safe space for exchange and open discussion. You are also very welcome if you are (still) unsure about your queer identity🥰.
Spielegruppe für LSBTIQ
Today it's game night! Uno, Doppelkopf, Wizard, Mills... - you name it 😄. Collect your game pieces, grab your friends by the hand and off you go for a fun evening with great people and maybe a win or two 🎉.
Queerer Buchclub
Queer reading! It's a good time to rekindle your passion for reading, especially as we enter the mucky season. Of course, it's most fun when you can exchange ideas together and get some reading inspiration - especially here, of course, if you're not quite as familiar with queer literature. 🔥
SEMINAR: Queersensible Handlungskompetenzen in der (sozial)pädagogischen Praxis
Here you can really rediscover the topics of pride, queerness, gender identities and stereotypes and certainly learn a lot of new things. We think it's great that this event gives you the opportunity to explore these important topics in depth. Participation is open to everyone, regardless of whether you belong to the LGBTQIA+ community or not 🏳🌈.
