Can you host?

Calling all IGLYO Members! In April 2026, we will organise our International Youth Conference on Counteracting the Anti-Gender Movement, a 4-day event bringing together 20 young LGBTQI activists from across the Council of Europe region. The Conference will focus on understanding and challenging anti-gender narratives — a growing threat to LGBTQI youth, democracy, and equality in Europe.

We’re currently looking for one of our Member Organisations to host the conference in their city and co-organise the event with us. This notably includes supporting with on-site logistics ahead of and during the event, contributing to the programme and topic, and organising the social programme.

Hosting this IGLYO conference is a unique opportunity to raise awareness about the anti-gender movement and its impact on LGBTQI youth in your country among a European audience, while strengthening your logistical and organisational skills in hosting international events and sharing your local activism, projects, and community work with an international audience of young queer activists.

If you’re interested, please carefully read our full call and send us your application by Sunday 7 December 2025 at 23:59 CET. Please note that this opportunity is only open for fully ratified IGLYO Member Organisations.
