In the world of Comic Cons, participants are encouraged to celebrate their diverse identities in connection with a variety of sources from literature, media, pop culture, gaming, and music. This fosters a strong sense of belonging to a community that is inclusive and affirming. In recent years, Cons have also become a platform for activism by encouraging self-expression and conversations.
Cons both embrace and inspire.
In keeping with mission of The Dalton School, HeroCon promotes diversity and social justice advocacy through inclusive, and entertaining, speakers and activities. We believe everyone can be a hero! All are welcome!
