The Workshop Experience
The Ridgefield LGBTQ+ Workshop provided a platform for young individuals to engage with media portrayals of LGBTQ+ characters. It encouraged them to share their own experiences and to actively participate in creating more diverse and authentic representations. Through this, they learned the power of narrative and the importance of inclusivity.
