Q-topia is a social support network for *queer youth (or youth who are questioning their sexuality or gender identity) in the Canterbury region aged 14-25. We run regular social events and aim to have a lot of fun. We meet weekly, some of our events include going to cafés, movies, picnics, ten pin bowling, go-kart racing, watching DVDs or simply hanging out.
Q-topia is a peer social group for queer youth that affirms and appreciates the diverse qualities of participants. By providing a safe and interesting space for queer youth to meet others, allow those who attend the group to safely explore issues and be supported in having pride in who they are.
Q-topia is a 'queer' play on the word Utopia. Utopia is an imaginary place where everything is perfect. Well, that's what we're aiming for!
UniQ meets at the University of Canterbury on Wednesdays between 11am-2pm in the Steed Common Room, UCSA Building upstairs. All welcome! UniQ Canterbury is also hosting the 2010 UniQ Conference and Ball in July. See our web site for more information: http://www.uniq.org.nz/UniQ_Aotearoa/UniQ_Conference_2010.html
