“The learning is still learning, but the learning may come from food sessions, dance sessions, spoken-word poetry, social experience, the conversations they have around the dinner table.”
Up until this year, the event had been described as a “conference”, with the shift to describing it as a “festival” taking place this year.
“For us, ‘conference’ was starting to feel a little but stuffy”, the co-chairs said.
“We felt we needed something to represent that we’re talking about street food, bar experiences, drag queens, poetry, theatre, a kids’ programme, a family programme.
“We’re talking about something that’s so much bigger.”
Three journalists from the JC will be covering the festival, posting features and news stories on the JC’s website and providing updates on social media on all that’s going on.
