In this self-organised space we would like to introduce the project to you and see what your needs and wishes are regarding bi+ equality and this project. Bi+ Equal is project for the bi+ community, by the bi+ community. Please come join us!

During the workshop we'll be setting the basics of bi+ equality. We'll be discussing the terminologies and look into the results of some current research on bi+ people. There is room for questions and discussion, and we'll introduce the plans of Bi+ Equal for the next two years.

The Bi+ World Meetup is an online meetup hosted multiple times a year by Robyn Ochs and Bi+ Nederland. Everyone is welcome whether you are new to the bi+ community or a long time member of the community.

In this panel, the Bi+ Equal research team discusses the outcomes of the first large online survey among bi+ groups and activists in Europe. What are important and striking findings and what actions are wished for? They also discuss regional differences.

We will start this workshop by talking about the importance of telling bi+ stories, how dominant narratives can shape the way that we tell and interpret stories, and how stories are constructed in our social interactions. We will also critically reflect on who can tell their stories and who is silenced. In this context, we will particularly turn our attention to how bi+ stories become untellable, in the asylum process. The workshop will finish with discussing strategies for creating more space for bi+ asylum stories to be told, heard, and understood.

In this workshop for researchers and bi+ groups and activists, Dr Jantine van Lisdonk and Daphne Hermsen, MSc (Bi+ Nederland), explain how most research, including lgbtiqa+ research, falls short in being inclusive for bi+ people and bi+ issues. This severely impacts lgbtqia+ research outcomes and erases bi+ people and their issues. They share tips and strategies how to make research more bi+ inclusive, drawing from experiences collaborating with and advising research institutes, universities and national monitors.
