Please note: this event will be held in person.
Join us for an amazing evening highlighting the connection between sports, creativity and community solidarity as part of Festival Fortnight 2024. U Belong Glasgow is collaborating with LEAP Sports Festival Fortnight and Glasgow Zine Library in Refugee Week Scotland.
This event will be delivered in two parts: first section is a discussion focused on LEAP Sports and their Just Active project followed by Q&A. The second section is a performance panel focusing on the talents of three creatives. There will be art, music, poetry and a space for connections.
The event is free and all is welcome to attend (18+) as the audience. The main stage is for local creatives from the LGBTIQ+ and BPOC communities which offers the audience a unique opportunity to witness and engage with creativity from underrepresented identities.
