Join us for a special IDAHOBIT Crafternoon: Paint for Pride, as we honour the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia. This relaxed creative session is all about visibility, pride, allyship, and fostering a campus where every student feels respected, supported, and celebrated. 💛💙💜💚❤️

Whether you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community or an ally, you’re invited to slow down, connect, and paint alongside others in a warm and welcoming space. No experience needed, just bring yourself. We’ll provide all materials, gentle prompts, and an easy, reflective painting activity designed to help you express messages of pride, solidarity, and hope.

At the end, you’re welcome to take your artwork home or contribute it to a collaborative display on campus to mark IDAHOBIT 2026.

Come for the creativity. Stay for the community. 🌈✨

🎨 Activity: Paint Your Pride Patch
A simple, accessible, and meaningful creative project

Each student will receive a small canvas tile (or card square) to paint their own Pride Patch, one piece of a colourful “quilt” representing unity and support across campus.

How it works:

Choose a pride flag, symbol, shape, or colours that represent you or your allyship.
Paint freely — simple patterns, stripes, dots, words, or anything meaningful.
No artistic skill required — every patch adds to the story.
Completed tiles can be photographed or arranged together as a collective Pride Quilt.
