The Open Minds Project

The Open Minds Project is a small volunteer-run organisation that creates spaces for LGBTQ+ people with Punjabi or South Asian heritage.

These spaces are a place for us LGBTQ+ folk to share our experiences with each other and to build up our resilience against the challenges that we can face.

This Month's Meeting

How Punjabi are you and does it matter?

Being Punjabi and LGBTQIA+ means different things for each of us and we want to make some space to find out more about how you navigate these parts of your identities.

We hope to learn from each other and strengthen our sense of identity by sharing our stories.

Who Is This Event For?

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans or queer+ people with Punjabi or South Asian heritage. The group welcomes people from all faith backgrounds or no faith background too. The event is in English.

Please note you must be able to turn on your video for the meeting.

What To Expect?

The event is facilitated and usually starts with some introductions and some small group work. In our virtual groups, we do this using breakout rooms. We then have a bigger group discussion.

You're welcome to spend more time listening than speaking and you are not expected to tell us about your sexuality or gender unless you want to.

You should be able to sign in directly using your Eventbrite emails. Please get in touch if you have any issues.
