British Council Pride Panel Discussion

The British Council is proud to host it’s First Pride Panel Discussion. The panel will be made of LGBT+ Employees of the British Council who will share their coming out experiences and other stories in being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. As the overall theme of Prague Pride 2024 is “Family”, there will be a focus on both biological and adopted family integrated into their stories. The panellists will share their experience from varied backgrounds and the audience will be invited to take part in an open discussion with the panellists. Our goal in organizing this event is to foster an open dialogue between people from different backgrounds with different experiences taking place in a safe and open environment. Light refreshments will be provided.
