We work with schools throughout Austria to raise LGBTIQ flags during Pride Month. Queer visibility is the best way to teach all students uncompromising self-acceptance.

We are aware that there is little room in school budgets for such an undertaking.
That is why we would like to make the entire package available free of charge.
The project is financed by donations from private individuals, associations, and other organizations.

In the name of love ...

queerconnexion

We organize interactive workshops at educational institutions (both in and outside of schools). In these workshops, we work together on topics related to diverse gender and sexual realities.

In our workshops, we aim to create a learning space that goes beyond the usual framework. The goal is to facilitate an open, inclusive exchange on the topics of body, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Our methods are focused on interaction and dialogue. We want to enable all participants to take part in our workshops and therefore place great importance on using simple language and being sensitive to possible disabilities.

We use methods from anti-discrimination education and sex education, such as autobiographical storytelling. We share stories from our own lives and address personal questions.

We visit school classes and extracurricular youth groups and tailor our program to the respective wishes after consultation. We most often work with young people between the ages of ten and eighteen. If necessary, the workshop can also be held in English.

New people are also recruited to participate in the project on an ongoing basis (see website)!

Vienna Pride (Regenbogenparade)

Vienna Pride takes place annually between the end of May and mid-June. It kicks off with the Pride Conference at Vienna's City Hall. After that, the Prater becomes a queer hotspot with the Community Fest and the Pride Run Vienna: community associations, LGBTIQ artists, and partners invite you to experience LGBTIQ culture and support LGBTIQ causes.

The highlight takes place at the end of the two-week program: over 300,000 people are expected to attend the Rainbow Parade on the Ringstrasse to demonstrate together for acceptance, respect, and equality. The Pride Village on Rathausplatz invites visitors to celebrate with a colorful stage program and a wide range of culinary offerings.

These highlights will be accompanied by numerous other events throughout the city during Vienna Pride (see website!).

You can get involved by participating in the parade day or by volunteering before, during, or after the event. Financial support for the cause can be provided by booking a starting position, taking on a symbolic tram sponsorship, or through other forms of sponsorship. On the day of the march and at other Vienna Pride events, solidarity bracelets will be distributed in exchange for a donation of your choice — the proceeds will go to the organizer of Vienna Pride (HOSI Wien).

Vienna Eagles Rugby Football Club

AUSTRIA'S FIRST INCLUSIVE (LGBTQIA+) RUGBY CLUB.

Furthermore, it is important to us to protect this safe space in order to guarantee a relaxed atmosphere for everyone.

For this reason, we are proud to say that Vienna Eagles RFC is Austria's first inclusive rugby club.

As colorful as your hosts — the Kleinkunstprinzessin & Metamorkid.

Draglab

All Drag is valid and needs to start and grow somewhere.

Drag Lab is an open stage for queer and Drag-performers. Founded in Summer 2021 by Metamorkid and Dopa Mania, the main idea was to create a safe space for people to express themselves. During the Covid lockdowns, a lot of queer spaces hadn´t been accessible and there weren´t any real opportunities for newcomers to start performing.

DragLab started to give an open stage to performers of any kind. A stage for queens/kings/monsters and entertainers that want to explore and improve their artistry in a positive, community-driven environment.

The Show is now run by Metamorkid and Nani Mag. Viech and is currently in it’s eighth season.

queerconnexion

We organize interactive workshops at educational institutions (both in and outside of schools). In these workshops, we work together on topics related to diverse gender and sexual realities.

In our workshops, we aim to create a learning space that goes beyond the usual framework. The goal is to facilitate an open, inclusive exchange on the topics of body, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Our methods are focused on interaction and dialogue. We want to enable all participants to take part in our workshops and therefore place great importance on using simple language and being sensitive to possible disabilities.

We use methods from anti-discrimination education and sex education, such as autobiographical storytelling. We share stories from our own lives and address personal questions.

We visit school classes and extracurricular youth groups and tailor our program to the respective wishes after consultation. We most often work with young people between the ages of ten and eighteen. If necessary, the workshop can also be held in English.

New people are also recruited to participate in the project on an ongoing basis (see website)!
