Out Loud are ‘proud conversation spaces’ where invited experts and activists will engage in dialogue about key topics that reflect the values of València and the Gay Games: respect, inclusion, community wellbeing and diversity.
Each session focuses on an essential theme through an open, accessible and contemporary lens. Although the main exchange will be between the speakers, the audience will have specific moments to ask questions or share reflections without shifting the format away from a structured dialogue.
Out Loud, our proud chats, will happen to inspire, connect and encourage reflection. They will be held in English or in Spanish, check before attending (no translation service will be provided)
