Bringing 70 LGBTQI young activists at the heart of Europe
IGLYO’s Annual Members’ Conferences (AMCs) are the largest international gatherings of LGBTQI youth in the Council of Europe Region. They are meant to gather representatives from each of our Member Organisations to participate in the General Assembly, vote on statutory decisions, take part in various workshops, and facilitate international networking.
In October 2022, we held our first in-person Annual Members’ Conference in two years, which brought together over 70 LGBTQI young activists from more than 30 countries in Brussels, Belgium.
From lively statutory discussions to the General Assembly and Board Elections, all the way to insightful Members-led workshops and fun social activities, these three days gave us food for thought and brought our international family of LGBTQI youth activists even closer together.
We invited key international LGBTQI activists, as well as Commissioner for Equality Helena Dalli and two of the European Parliament’s Intergroups on LGBTI and Children’s Rights, to deliver powerful speeches at the AMC. In addition, our Members took the floor by leading insightful skills workshops.
We thank our Members and all the delegates who joined us in Brussels and contributed with their thoughts and experience. We also thank the speakers' and workshop facilitators for boosting us with inspiration and motivation, as well as our AMC Chair, Board and Team for their hard work and devotion.
The AMC Brussels 2022 was organised with the support of the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) 2021-2027 programme of the European Union, and the Dutch Ministry of Education Culture & Science. We are thank them for their long-standing support.
