'LGBTQ+ History and Intergenerational Practice: Getting the Balance Right' Resources
Resources from our 'LGBTQ+ History and Intergenerational Practice: Getting the Balance Right' Forum discussion
Delivered in partnership with Dr Richard Vytniorgu and LGBTQ+ co-researchers from the IncludeAge project, in conversation with representatives from the Queer Heritage South project, the forum discussion: explored how LGBTQ+ history can be used to facilitate and enrich intergenerational practice among LGBTQ+ people; discussed the pros and cons of basing intergenerational practice around LGBTQ+ history; shared tips and advice for including historical themes when engaging with LGBTQ+ population groups; and shared information about existing LGBTQ+ projects that involve queer histories.
