During Winter Camp, The Genderchangers network planned to figure out their identity, work on a manifesto, a slogan and a new website. Today, during their final presentations, it seemed the Genderchangers almost finished their todo list. They now know what they are; the Genderchangers are wtF and super cool!

They prented us with their manifesto, in the form of a movie and also started on improving their website. On top of this, they created buttons and t-shirts. It seemed they had a very productive week, in which they strengthened their network ties and identity.
