Fantastic! 
You are interested in submitting a workshop for this year's Expression Not Suppression (ENS).  Below you will find information on the event, our theme for this year, workshop information and the proposal form.  Please take some time to review these items.

Expression Not Suppression (ENS) will be held March 15, 2014 from 9am until 10pm. ENS is a conference for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, and straight ally youth dedicated to fostering safe schools and youth activism.  ENS is designed to focus on giving youth organizers the tools to challenge homophobia and transphobia in schools.  

The aim of ENS is to provide a safe space in which students may come together to explore the multiple oppressions faced by youth, help teachers become advocates and form partnerships with LGBTQ and straight allied youth, and become armed with the tools needed to change the world!
