首届跨区域华人女同志组织者训练营日前在中国珠海完满结束。来自中国大陆、香港、台湾及美国的近百名华人同性恋和双性恋女性及跨性别人士于2007年7月13日至16日齐集珠海，进行了为期四天的同运经验分享和领导能力培训。参加者包括来自大陆边远地区的近40个同志组织、跨越四代的女同志工作骨干和组织负责人，盛况空前。

本次训练营结合不同地域的同志运动经验，配合理论与实践的训练模式，集中探讨社会政策、人权、国际视野、性别理论、社会运动等重要议题，旨在培训年轻一代的女同志及跨性别人士成为敢于挑战、勇于承担、充满自信、乐于贡献的志愿组织领袖及重要人员。训练营议题包括: 各地同志运动和组织介绍, 身份认同，同志家庭经验, 多元性别光谱, 文化艺术和同运, 媒体技巧, 同志和法律, 最佳实践方法, 组织能力建设，跨区域和跨议题连结, 地方行动策略等等。 主办单位希望通过交流不同地区的组织经验，了解彼此地区特式，从而拉近不同地域差距，进一步在华人社区开展女同志和跨性别运动。

“女同志组织者训练营”的主办团体包括北京同语、台湾性别人权协会、香港女同盟会、纽约华人性别研究中心、纽约酷浪、美国紫凤凰等六个以服务性小众及跨性别人士为主的团体。其策划始于2006年冬天，在美国正义女神女同性恋基金会（Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice）的研习营，上述六个团体有意组织华人女同志及跨性别社群跨区域的分享和训练活动，并终于合力付诸实行。

Making History -  2007 Chinese La La Camp concluded with grand success

First ever multi-region Chinese La La organizer training camp was held in Zhuhai China July 13 to July 16.  Close to one hundred lesbians, bisexual women and trans activists from mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and United States gathered together at the beautiful city of Zhuhai for an intense 4-day leadership training and exchange of experiences.  Participants came from more than 20 cities/towns and from 40 different local LBT groups, some traveled by train and bus for hundreds of miles.  Participants ranged from freshmen in college to long-time activists in their 50s.

This training camp brought together activists from different sectors of the queer movement, combining theory and practice.   There was a focus on the intersections of social policy, human rights, international collaboration, gender theory, and community building.  The goal was to provide this new generation of Chinese LBT activists a stepping stone with full range of human and informational resources.  Training courses included topics such as local movement history and recent experience, self-affirmation, family relationships, gender identity continuum, cultural activities and their social impact, working with media, law and public policy, models and strategies and their local/historical context, building communities, sustaining A local group, fund seeking, proposal writing, organizational development, network building and mobilization, and sexuality.  Camp participants were able to share local accomplishments and challenges and improve their understanding of the unique conditions of each area, bringing groups closer together.

The "La La Camp" hosting committee was diverse in terms of location and experience:  the six groups include:  Common Language(Beijing), Gender and Sexuality Rights of Taiwan, Women Coalition of HKSAR（Hong Kong), Institute for Tongzhi Studies(New York), Qwave(New York), and Lavender Phoenix in U.S.  The La La Camp idea originated at the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice Activist Retreat, in November of 2006. After seven months of cross regional planning, the first annual La La Camp was a resounding success.
