What is the conference about 
To coincide with the Spanish EU Presidency, and in the context of the important discussions taking place around the proposed horizontal Anti-Discrimination Directive among EU Member States, we feel that this is a prime opportunity to meet in Spain for a conference focusing on Anti-Discrimination legislations. IGLYO aims with it to empower young LGBTQ activists to be part of high-level decision-making.
The Conference is organized in collaboration with Bolo-Bolo, the regional branch of FELGTB, the State Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals of Spain, and will be held in the Castle of San Servando, Toledo, from May 30th (Sunday) to June 4th 2010 (Friday). 
Some of its main objectives are: 
  • - Studying current anti-discrimination legislations and discuss their strengths and limitations in order to afford   protection to LGBTQ young people, based on case studies ; 
  • - Train activists to ’win the argument’ for anti-discrimination legislation at a local and national level;
  • - Explore methods of engaging with policy-making processes at a national and international level; 
  • - Sharing best practices as well as creating a network of activists; 
  • - Planning future actions and supervision of the implementation process.
