A Sixth Edition on Queer Campaigning & Artivism!
Our IGLYO Activist Academy 2024 welcomed an international group of 19 LGBTQI young people from 18 countries in Brussels, Belgium, for a comprehensive week of training, learning and connecting, centred around queer campaigning and artivism.
This year, 8 international experts held workshops on Strategic Campaign Planning, Campaigning for Intersex Rights, Good Practices in Inclusive Education, Digital Campaigning on Social Media, Narratives & Messaging, Coalition & Alliance Building, Creative Storytelling, Artivism & Craftivism, and Self-Care & Resilience.
In teams, with the support of their mentors, participants took on two tasks based on what they learned in the workshops before presenting them to the class and receiving feedback from the IGLYO team. We were truly impressed by the outstanding quality of their work.
We thank everyone who made the Academy happen and contributed to making it an unforgettable week. We specially thank our IGLYO programmes team Viola and Ali and all the other team members who helped on site, our amazing experts for their workshops, our venue Les Tanneurs, the L-Tour and its illustrious guide Marian Lens, our incredible photographer Melin Vazquez (book her asap!), as well as our funders and donors for their long-standing support.
That's all for now but stay tuned for the next edition of our Activist Academy in 2025. Make sure to follow us online or subscribe to our newsletter if you want to be the first informed when we open applications at the start of the new year!
