Individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex or asexual (LGBTQIA) continue to face violence, discrimination, and other human rights violations due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, not just in the United States but also worldwide.
Global Minnesota is interested in bringing this global conversation to Minnesota – and we invite you to join this FREE EVENT, presented in partnership with Augsburg University—Center for Global Education and Experience (CGEE) and LGBTQIA+ Student Services.
Alumni from the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program will join the conversation and share their human rights advocacy work, related to LGBTQIA+ issues, in their home countries. The event will be moderated by our very own Raziel Valiño who is a member of Augsburg’s Center of Global Education and Experience (CGEE) and the coordinator of Red Migrāre (UNAM).
The program will include breakout rooms, lead by 3-4 Augsburg students, with the opportunity for audience engagement and participation.
Join us individually OR as a classroom!
