If you will be selected to take part to Queer Lab Europe, you will be asked to play your role starting from your very local environment.
One of our goals is to combat the invisibility in research of LGBT+ individuals and issues.
THE QUESTIONNAIRES
HOW TO DO IT?
Starting our own little Queer Lab research. It’s a challenge we issue and it starts from you!
Your national team will work on the promotion of a questionnaire that will help us understand what is the situation in your country and what should we work on. During the exchange we will use the data to develop them more and to understand how these tools can help us fight discrimination.
