Friday Social Group (Speed Friending and Show & Tell)

This event is for transgender, gender diverse, and non-binary people.

TGV Friday Social Group meets at Affirmation Station (Brunswick East) and is designed for trans, gender diverse and non-binary people who want to connect with other TGD people in a safe, inclusive and affirming environment. Come have a chat, build social connections and do some fun activities!

What to expect: Speed friending and show & tell

• The group will be facilitated by LJ (they/them), who is TGV's Peer Programs Facilitator and two amazing volunteers! They will be there to guide the conversation and activities.

• After this you will get a chance to show and tell anything that you like. You could bring a piece of art you've been working on, tell us a funny story or even share a book you have been reading. It can be as short or as long as you like. You can prepare something in advance or make it up on the spot.
