This fun, creative and highly interactive workshop is for Black LGBTQIA+ young people (18 to 30) as part of LGBT history month events around the UK.
Come along and take part in a creative, engaging journey that utilises a range of different group games and activities that help participants achieve a greater sense of wellbeing, increased self esteem and provides lots of opportunities to meet, network and experience joy with other young Black LGBTQIA+ people.
The workshop will be led by Dennis L Carney who has many years’ experience of Black Queer community development work and experiential group facilitation.
Bayo (Bai-ōh) of Yoruba Origin, meaning “Joy has found us”. https://bayo.ubele.org/
