The 4th Asia Pacific Outgames will be officially launched at the Viaduct Events Centre this Saturday, and all are welcome. Auckland will host the event concurrent with the 2016 Auckland Pride Festival, in February 2016. “There will be speeches, entertainment and marketing materials available, plus some of our stakeholders will be present too,” says Executive Director Damien Strogen says of Saturday’s launch. “This is both an occasion for telling you all what we are about, to meet our board and executive team and discuss our vision, but also a way for you all to provide your input into options you would like to see covered particularly with regard to topics to be covered in the human rights arena. Some of our key focus areas are discrimination, youth and exclusion.” Strogen is urging people to spread the word. “This is going to be a major event for our city and people.” The launch is from 5PM to 8PM Saturday at Viaduct Events Centre.Follow the Outgames team on Facebook here
