SUMMARY:First Tuesday Socials
DESCRIPTION:Our monthly socials events are a great way to stay connected with other workshop participants\, as well as meet a diverse range of gay men – away from the barriers and criticism of the generic London scene.\nHeld on the first Tuesday of every month\, the socials are also an ideal night out for those who are ‘curious’ about The Quest and who want to mix and mingle with an emerging community of gay men who are beginning to ask themselves some fundamental questions and long for a community environment. \nIts all about catching up\, swapping stories and having a laugh without preconceived ideas\, presumptions or expectations. \nJoin the conversation by signing up to the online group – Meetup or simply confirm you are coming by registering here – Eventbrite. You can use either one to let us know you are coming.

SUMMARY:The Quest Bitesize - 7 Golden Nuggets from my Adventures
DESCRIPTION:Many of you probably have met Ernesto. Apart from being a Quest Graduate\, Ernesto is also one of the key players of The Quest and now facilitator of The Weekend Workshop. Ernesto had a successful career working as a Management Consultant for PwC until the end of 2012\, when he decided to quit his job with the intention to pursue what he thought would be a more authentic and fulfilling path. After a few projects here and there at the beginning of 2013\, Ernesto decided that he needed to take some time out to do some self-inquiry and really explore what he was all about. \nOn 24th September last year\, Ernesto took a flight to Thailand unsure of when he would return. Ernesto’s intention was to spend sometime thinking and delving into some of the questions that for years he had been trying to answer about his personal life and career. Ernesto took with him a bunch of books\, a journal\, his laptop and a camera. During his travels\, he did a 10-day meditation retreat in Northern Thailand\, visited psychics and healers in Bali\, started to write a book in Koh Samui\, spoke at a conference in Malaysia and met a cartographer in Indonesia. Ernesto spent two and half months away\, and when he felt ready\, he decided to come back last to London last December. \nMany of you have been asking Ernesto questions like: What did you enjoy the most? What did you learn? Who did you meet? Amongst other things.  Putting two months of stories in a short conversation is challenging and some curious Questors suggested to Ernesto to run a Bitesize to share with his insights\, discoveries and stories. In this Bitesize Ernesto will be taking us thought what he refers to as the “7 golden nuggets” he brought back with him from his adventures. \nWhen: Wednesday 12 February 2014\nTime: 6.30pm (arrival)\, to start 7.00pm – 10.00pm\nWhere:  The School of Social Entreprenuers\, London Bridge\nEntry: £5 towards refreshments\, and venue hire \n \nEvent Registration Online for The Quest Bitesize – 7 Golden Nuggets from my Adventures powered by Eventbrite\n\nThe Quest Bitesize is an evening designed exclusively for The Quest graduates to come together and explore issues relevant to our journey of authenticity\, and to learn and discover new things that can facilitate our Quest journey. The Quest is a quarterly event in which we will have speakers\, discussion forums\, guided activities and film screenings as a way of reconnecting with what brought us together and developing a sense of community amongst The Quest Graduates.\n

SUMMARY:Does it really get better? – An intergenerational dialogue
DESCRIPTION:As part of 2014 LGBT History Month\,\nThe Rainbow Intersection\npresents\,\nDoes it really get better? – An intergenerational dialogue\nIn 2010\, US columnist and author Dan Savage created a YouTube video with his partner in a bid to reach out to young LGBT people who were being bullied and harassed. The video kick-started the “It Gets Better Project” which aims to let young people know that life will get better for them\, and that bullying\, like many other challenges they face in life\, will surely come and pass. The project has become a ‘worldwide movement’ and to-date more than 50\,000 user created videos have been viewed more than 50 million times. \nHere in the UK\, there are two types of reality facing young (and older) people who are LGBT. The first reality covers the narrative that ‘things are pretty good now’. In this domain we have\, the establishment of civil partnerships and more recently the legalization of marriage for same-sex couples\, more visibility of LGBT people in politics\, business and media\, equal age of consent and a range of organisations working to tackle homophobic bullying in schools and the workplace. \nThe second reality was echoed by the charity\, Crisis in its 2005 report “Sexuality and Homelessness”. The report highlighted that “There is a long-standing association between homelessness and the everyday lives of young men and women who are gay\, lesbian\, bisexual or transgender (GLBT)”. That same reality was reflected in research carried out by Stonewall Scotland in partnership with Cambridge University’s centre for Family Research (The experiences of gay young people in Britain’s schools in 2012). The research noted that\, “more than half (55%) of lesbian\, gay and bisexual young people experience homophobic bullying in Britain’s schools”. This reality was again brought to light in the 2014 findings from the Youth Chances project\, who conducted the biggest social research study into 16 – 25 year olds LGBT people in England\, and found that  “more than half of young gay people have suffered mental health issues\, and 40 per cent have considered suicide” and “that 50 per cent have self-harmed and 42 per cent had sought medical help for anxiety or depression”. \nBetween these two realities\, there is an increasing gap in the experiences of the younger and older generation. Whilst there is plenty to be happy about in terms of how things have improved\, there is also plenty to talk about regarding what is still less than ideal – individually and collectively. These are not conversations that take place on the scene and there are hardly any forums for different LGBT generations to come together to reflect\, discuss and debate the issue of ‘how things are’\, how things were’ and ‘how things could be’. \nTherefore\, to celebrate LGBT History Month\, the award winning The Rainbow Intersection is back with: \nDoes it really get better? – Intergenerational Dialogue\nAuthor and comedian\, Vg Lee will host the panel discussion and debate. Topics to be explored include: \n\nWhat are the priority issues facing the young and older people who are LGBT?\nIs LGBT political activism still important?\nAgeism within the LGBT community\nAre role models necessary?\nWhat impact does music and popular culture have on the experiences of people who are LGBT?\nAre younger people more inclusive when it comes to the intersection of race and sexuality\nWhat are the things that get better as we grow older? And\, is there anything that does not get better?\n\nDoors will open at 6.30pm\, with the event starting at 7.00pm. The evening will be followed by a reception between 8:30pm – 9:30pm (Room K4U.12) \nFor more information and booking details click here.
