IGLYO on... EDUCATION
n.2 - June / 2007
Dear readers and friends,
We are welcoming Summer with the new release of the IGLYO magazine, and we'd like to thank all of you who sent feedback after the first issue. We really appreciate all the contributions we got.
Back in April this year, the joint Study Session with OBESSU (the European Secondary School Students Union) explored LGBTfriendly policies in European secondary schools. Following this, we wanted this new issue to focus on the important topic of education. Whenever it comes to LGBTQ rights, education stands in the way of the improvement of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer young people. A sustainable approach to LGBTQ rights for us, the young generations, must take education as fundamental.
This publication gathers many looks on educational issues: first the Board will present IGLYOs position on educational matters; then two higher education activists from ANSO (the Association of Nordic LGBT Student Organizations) will share their thoughts; a brief overlook on the situation in Poland; finally, two of our member organisations as well as one of their partners will present their work around Education (the BeLonG-To youth group and GLEN in Ireland, and LeGeBiTra in Slovenia).
We welcome your feedback and we wish you again a happy reading.
The IGLYO Board
