Description
This year we have a historical chance for Pride to be nominated as worldwide intangible heritage at UNESCO! For now, there is no recognised UNESCO cultural heritage related to the LGBTQIA+ community, but together we can change that. Heritage status will give Pride recognition as cultural practice of the LGBTQIA+ community, and will help protect Prides in hostile political contexts. If we gain heritage status, other Prides in the world can join too and be better protected for the future. To achieve this worldwide status, we need to collect testimony of what Pride means to you. In this session, we will tell you all about the process and how you can contribute.
