Calling all IGLYO Members!
Over the last decade, IGLYO has been monitoring the development and implementation of LGBTQI-inclusive education policies and practices across the Council of Europe region and globally. Through this work, we have been able to identify best practices and assess the extent to which Council of Europe Member States are implementing measures to protect LGBTQI children and young people from discrimination and harassment in schools. Despite important progress, many learners still experience hostile environments, invisibility in curricula, discriminatory policies, and resistance from authorities.
IGLYO’s Education Mentorship Programme builds on this evidence and supports Member Organisations to design and implement national-level projects that improve LGBTQI inclusion in and through education, while building a strong network of youth activists learning from and supporting each other.
This programme runs from February to December 2026 and focuses on peer-to-peer learning, cross-border exchange, and tailored mentorship. It is designed to give you the space, support, and resources to shape an initiative that creates real impact in your national context. Member Organisations can apply individually or in a consortium of Member Organisations within the same country. We offer up to €4,000 to assist each of the selected Member Organisations or consortia in designing and implementing their proposed action plan.
