Volunteering for rede ex aequo
rede ex aequo is an association of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex youth and their allies, at national level in Portugal, where I've been a volunteer since 2011.
I've done graphic design, photo sessions, shot and edited videos, spoke in schools, wrote information materials, published a monthly newsletter, trained volunteers, served in a bar, helped organize summer camps, peddy-papers and other events, put up posters, among other things.
Currently I'm part of the volunteer team of the LGBTI Education Project which goes to schools nationwide to talk about this subject and raise awareness against bullying.

Imagens em vários formatos para divulgar o evento (cartaz, redes sociais online, newsletters, etc).
At the moment I'm working full time at Teatro Estúdio Fontenova, in Setúbal, as a communication designer and producer. Whenever possible I do volunteering/activism on LGBTI issues at rede ex aequo and Cooperativa SEIES.
