This project was built on a collaboration between five organizations within the Nordic region that have been involved in the growing QTIBIPoC movement. The project’s purpose was to collaboratively create a practical handbook in partnership with QTIBIPOCs – a resource designed by and for the community. This handbook will partly serve as a transformative intervention for Nordic organizations, welfare systems, schools, and other institutions that engage with QTIBIPOCs. We also wanted the handbook to serve as a resource for QTIBIPOC organizing and create opportunities for cross-border coalitions.

The handbook introduces readers to an intersectional understanding of systems of oppression and power, and develop a contextual and historical analysis of the Nordic region. Most importantly, the handbook will draw its strength from real-life experiences, activist strategies, organizational skills, and movement expertise from across the region.
