Visible Queer Neighbourhood | City Walk Series

Join us for the Visible Queer Neighbourhoods (VQN) City Walk Series as we explore Melbourne together and discover the places, spaces and experiences that help queer international students and migrants feel connected, welcome, belong and part of a neighbourhood. 🌈

We will explore a mix of busy city spaces and quieter places, noticing how different environments make us feel and what makes a place feel safe, welcoming and culturally inclusive.

Along the way, we will share observations, memories, encounters of people, stories and ideas about the neighbourhoods around us, with opportunities to stop for a coffee, snack or a chat.
