IGLYO invites you to take part in our second conference of 2008, Building and Implementing Effective Strategies in Combating Homophobia which will be held from 12 to 19 October in Turin, Italy, in cooperation with Arcigay - the Italian Lesbian and Gay Association.IGLYO is facilitating this conference to enable young LGBTQ activists to share ideas and develop the tools needed to create effective and proactive strategies to combat homophobia. Activist work can often take place as a reaction to events rather than as part of a pre-emptive and preventative longer term strategy – and that’s what we want to explore in this conference. The programme will include activities to develop skills and knowledge around planning, motivation, creating goals, managing resources effectively, and avoiding burnout.
LGBTQ youth activism needs a highly motivated and strategic approach to be truly successful, and that’s what this conference is all about. During the week-long conference, we will use non-formal education and inter-cultural learning methodologies to achieve our aims.
IGLYO wants to facilitate the development of focused strategies, creating bridges between policies and the social field to the work of organisations. If this is what you and your organisation want too, make sure you join us in Turin!
Our aims
- Develop clear tools with which to build an anti-homophobia strategy;
- Strengthen organisations’ competences and resources;
- Raise awareness of different approaches to combating homophobia;
- Provide an understanding of policies which may support the work of NGYOs;
- Share and celebrate success stories!
