2024 International LGBTQI+ Activism Summit
October 8th—10th
The summit is a convening of LGBTQI+ activists from around the world to discuss research and frameworks and share best practices—particularly focusing on undoing stigma and dispelling harmful myths. Participants will leave with an increased understanding of the systems and strategies involved in changing social attitudes towards LGBTQI+ people, and an actionable advocacy plan through interacting with Harvard faculty, researchers, and most importantly, each other.
2024-2025 Online International LGBTQI+ Advocacy Training Program
September 2024 to May 2025
The online training program offers activists a unique opportunity to engage deeply with the summit's groundbreaking content from anywhere in the world. From September to December, participants will immerse themselves in nine core workshops led by Harvard faculty and researchers, building a solid foundation in cutting-edge advocacy strategies. Throughout both the Fall and Spring semesters, attendees can choose from a variety of elective workshops, each led by distinguished academics and practitioners. Learn from experts who have spearheaded successful marriage equality campaigns, top researchers in advocacy strategies, members of UN working groups, and other influential leaders in the movement. The program culminates in a thrilling capstone project during the Spring semester (January to May), where participants will apply their newfound knowledge to reimagine, recreate, or retool their activism efforts.
