Free Event!

As part of 16-Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, Project Respect has partnered with Latin Stories to present - La Sobremesa!

The project "La Sobremesa" is a community awareness education program that helps everyone understand what #genderequality is, challenges #genderstereotypes and roles, and talks about #consent and healthy relationships in a fun, safe way.

The aim of this project is to bring the community together in “la Sobremesa” -this term refers to the Spanish and Latin American tradition of having relaxing informal conversations at the table after a meal. To help the conversations flow easily, we will play #boardgames - created with purpose - to explore topics about gender equality in a safe, relaxed and fun environment.

Come and play board-games and learn about gender equality and healthy relationships / Ven a jugar juegos de mesa y aprendamos de equidad de genero!

The games are led in Spanish or English by experienced facilitators who provide a safe, relaxed and fun environment where learnings blossom.

This event welcomes all genders and nationalities. Spanish speakers and non-spanish speakers are welcome. While the games are suitable for ages 12+, we ask that our event attendees be 18 years or over.

Snacks and drinks are provided.
