Dear opponents of homophobia,
The IDAHO (International Day Against Homophobia) Committee met for the first time on Tuesday, August 5 to prepare for IDAHO 2009. IDAHO takes place on May 17 every year and even though it is over 9 months away, the committee is hoping to do something bigger and better in 2009 and therefore would like to start planning as soon as possible.
South Australia has spearheaded the IDAHO concept in Australia and would like to raise the bar further and continue to encourage other states and the wider community to get involved and create awareness about homophobia!
The theme for IDAHO 2009 is Culture and Homophobia and we are interested in hearing from the different Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Communities of Adelaide, and the Queer Community, what YOU would like to see happen for IDAHO 2009.
We would therefore like to invite you and other members from the Queer and CALD Communities to a forum at 1pm on Tuesday, September 2 at the Port Adelaide Primary Health Care Centre (Cnr Church & Dale St's, Port Adelaide) to share in a discussion about what the committee, queer services and the wider community can do for IDAHO 2009. Previous activities have included:
A daily email campaign
A large scale morning tea
An anti-homophobia car convoy through the city
Resources and posters
A homophobia service audit
... Among others
You might like to consider some answers to the following questions which will advise what direction we want to take as a committee next year:
What sort of events/activities would be appropriate for various CALD communities in celebrating IDAHO?
What issues do we need to be aware of in staging any events/activities for CALD communities regarding IDAHO?
What key messages should we focus on in celebrating IDAHO with CALD communities?
Be creative, bring your ideas!!!
And for more information visit the official IDAHO website
Light refreshments will be provided.
Please forward this on to anybody you think might be interested.
Please RSVP to Lauren Riggs on 8240 9621 or by email Lauren.Riggs@health.sa.gov.au - by August 29.
Thanks!
