Calling all IGLYO Members based in the EU!
We're looking for EU-based IGLYO Members to host some of our major events in 2027: our flagship training programme for queer youth, the Activist Academy, and our International Youth Conference 2027 on LGBTQI Youth Access to Housing.
Being a host is a unique experience where you support us with the logistics of the event and contribute to the programme, all the while raising your international visibility and putting a spotlight on local LGBTQI youth activism in your city and country by sharing your work first hand with over 20 LGBTQI young people from across the European Region.
Does this sound like you? Read the call for each event below and apply to host one (or both!) by 11 October 2026 at 23:59 CEST.
Host our IGLYO Activist Academy 2027 (Summer 2027)
The IGLYO Activist Academy is a skills-based training programme for LGBTQI young people aged 18–30 who are at the beginning of their activist journeys and passionate about activism, advocacy and LGBTQI rights. The programme combines expert-led workshops, collaborative activities and concrete opportunities for participants to apply what they learn. Next year's Academy is expected to bring together approximately 25 participants from across 49 countries in Europe. Read the full call and fill out the application form by 11 October 2026 at 23:59 CEST.
Host our IGLYO International Youth Conference 2027 (Spring/Summer 2027)
In 2027, IGLYO will organise its International Youth Conference on LGBTQI Youth Access to Housing, a 4-day event bringing together 20 young LGBTQI activists from across the European region. The Conference will focus on issues faced by LGBTQI children and young people in relation to family rejection, leaving social or public care, emergency accommodation, access to safe housing, social protection, discrimination in housing services, and the specific risks of homelessness and social exclusion. Read the full call and fill out the application form by 11 October 2026 at 23:59 CEST.
We encourage Members who are unsure to reach out to us, we're more than happy to organise an online call to clarify any questions and doubts you might have. Just drop a line to our IGLYO Programmes Team at programmes@iglyo.org.
We look forward to your applications!
PS: The reason why these calls are only open to IGLYO Members based in the EU is due to EU funding requirements for these events specifically. The call to host IGLYO AMCs are however open to all IGLYO Members.
