About this event
eNMCI2021 - an exciting three-day Online event on Consensual Non-monogamies, with thematic panels and online discussion.
About this event
Due to the changes and uncertainties created by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the original plan, laid out in 2019, to have the 4th NMCI in Chile was postponed, but not abandoned. There has been series of monthly talking circles mainly aimed at the South American and Latinx activist and academic audiences. The International Organization Committee is now proud to invite you to the eNMCI2021 mini conference to bring together, activists and an interested public in discussions on Consensual Non-Monogamy.
This event will be held in September, from the 24th to the 26th, using the Zoom platform. You can register for each individual event that comprise the conference on this Eventbrite page.
You will receive a link to participate for each registered event!
eNMCI2021 will also be streamed for free on our the NMCI Facebook page (no login or registration needed, but no direct participation in the discussion possible).
Programme: 24 – 25 – 26 September 2021
Please note that all times are in London/Lisbon summer time (UTC+1). See The Time Zone Converter if you need to know when that will be on your time zone!
