We invite you to a symposium on the topic of the position of young LGBTIQ+ people in the Municipality of Ljubljana, which will take place on Tuesday, 22 October 2024 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. in the premises of the City Hall in Ljubljana (Banquet Hall and Club 15).

The consultation is intended for all of you who work in the field of youth work, LGBTIQ+ organisations and local decision makers, because together we can ensure a more inclusive and supportive environment for LGBTIQ+ young people.
The event is an opportunity to jointly explore and deepen the understanding of the needs of LGBTIQ+ young people in the Municipality of Ljubljana and to reflect on the possibilities of including these needs in local policies and structures.

The second part of the symposium will be dedicated to the presentation of two good practices in the context of addressing the specific needs of LGBTIQ+ youth:
1. First one will explore, through the presentation of the concepts of inclusive organizations, how they contribute to non-discrimination and the inclusion of LGBTIQ+ young people or contribute to the creation of a supportive environment for LGBTIQ+ youth at the local level, including a perspective on why such approaches are important in youth work in general.
2. Second part will present the concept of peer education and how it can be used in youth work to empower (LGBTIQ+) young people and how we can support young people in this type of work, by presenting a concrete mentoring scheme for female peer educators. We are especially proud that some of our LGBTIQ+ peer educators will be present at the conference, who will present their work.

If you would like to engage more in these topics, please write to us at infoATljubljanapride.org

The event will be in Slovene language only.

Event is co-funded by the Municipality of Ljubljana and Erasmus+ programme.
