Research-creation Project.
From Organizer:
"I am indebted to the funding generously granted by APIRG that allowed for the collaborators to see their visions through. Without this funding, we would not have been able to secure a central location for the performance; and a spacious space where we could dream without boundaries. Thank you very much APIRG."

From Event Organizer(s):
"On behalf of the Science FUNdamentals Foundation of Alberta, we would like to sincerely thank the Alberta Public Interest Research Group for being a Platinum Sponsor of Science FUNweek 2021. With the help of APIRG, we were able to reach over 11,500 participants! While many of our viewers included families and classrooms from the Edmonton area, our event also hosted attendees across Canada and from countries such as the United States, Ireland, Ukraine, and Lebanon. Through the support of APIRG, we have been able to fulfill our commitment to “provide accessible science education for all” during these truly unprecedented times. Adapting our annual science exhibition in accordance with COVID-19 public health directives proved challenging, and so receiving APIRG’s support during these uncertain times has aided our organization immensely. It has been incredibly inspiring to have teachers, parents and students express the impact of their Science FUNweek experiences. We are so grateful for your support of our event and accessible science education. This sponsorship will ensure financial sustainability for future FUNday events and has undoubtedly positively impacted the curious minds of many young scientists."

The Queer Agenda is a recurring zine publication looking to give a platform to queer voices. They exist to uplift and promote voices from the community and want to educate their audience on experiences different from their own, and show their own experiences so they feel supported and not alone. The goal of this project at its inception was to produce something for our community to showcase the lives and experiences of queer people.
