This post is also available in: Slovenščina (Slovenian)

Symposium will be part of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Pride Parade in Ljubljana. It will focus on reviewing the situation at the local level and will include two connected events.

Public discussion »Cooperation of the Municipality of Ljubljana with the LGBTIQ+ community« with representatives of the Municipality of Ljubljana Katarina Gorenc, Simona Topolinjak and Mateja Demšič and with representatives of the LGBTIQ+ community about various LGBTIQ+ projects and structures that exist in Ljubljana. We will research what the cooperation between MOL and the LGBTIQ + community has been like in the last 20 years, what structures already exist, what are the current challenges and what is the vision of the future.

In thematic discussions »Development of Guidelines for the Future« we will review existing activities in individual areas, discuss challenges and needs, and look for solutions to address them. The work will take the form of 4-5 parallel thematic discussions in small groups. Each group will focus on one of the topics offered: housing of LGBTIQ + young people, how MOL programs and initiatives can help in non-discrimination of LGBTIQ + people, education and school system, social justice and support mechanisms. Each group will have a facilitator and a person with expertise on the topic. Each group will draw the main conclusions of the conversation and prepare guidelines for the future.

The Symposium is open for members of LGBTIQ + organizations, Municipality of Ljubljana and other organizations from relevant fields.

Prior registration is required.

The event will be held in Slovene language.

The space is accessible for wheelchair users (building of Historical Archives Ljubljana, building next door). Please inform us beforehand if you require wheelchair access so we can prepare everything needed.
