Pride Camp 6. “I Am”
From June 26 to 28, the annual concluding event of Pride Month, Pride Camp, took place in a nature-filled, safe, and comfortable environment.
The theme of the 6th Pride Camp was “I Am” and was dedicated to queer identity, self-discovery, personal growth, and strengthening community connections.
The goal of the camp was to create a space where participants could better understand themselves, share their stories and experiences, listen to one another, and form new supportive connections.
21 LGBT+ individuals from different regions and communities of Armenia participated in the camp.
During this time, an environment based on trust and acceptance was formed among the participants, where everyone shared their life stories, concerns, and achievements through open and honest conversations.
During the camp, discussions were held dedicated to queer identity, self-worth, personal experiences, and mutual support.
The agenda also included self-discovery exercises, group work, experience sharing, and collective relaxation, which contributed to forming new connections and strengthening mutual support within the community.
Pride Camp continues to be a safe and inclusive space for the community to get to know one another, build connections, and empower each other together.
The theme “I Am” once again emphasized that recognizing and valuing one’s own identity is an important step toward better understanding ourselves, accepting ourselves, and building stronger connections within the community.
