We invite you to join us for a screening of A Queer Endeavor's new documentary, Reclaiming the Narrative, on Sunday, June 23 from 2-4 p.m. at the Longmont Museum.
Registration is required. This event will engage audience members in discussion as we make sense of what the voices in the film raise and how we might create schools as places of possibility for all students. It will also include a talkback from film producers and insights on the current sociopolitical climate as it relates to LGBTQ+ students in Colorado and beyond.
A Queer Endeavor’s annual Educator Institute for Equity and Justice in Education (EIEJ) is a 2-day professional learning experience aimed to support K-12 educators and youth-serving adults to learn and enact equity and justice-focused practices. Sessions will focus on anti-racism, abolitionist teaching, gender and sexual diversity, bi/multilingualism, equity in rural communities, supporting first-generation and undocumented students, critical dis/ability studies, trauma, and healing-- among others and their intersections.
Stay tuned for future institutes!
