EVENTS

We are pleased to invite your grassroot activists for an international activity “Fighting Antifeminism and Queerphobia – Building Youth Resistance Across Borders”, taking place in Vienna, Austria from 22–27 June 2026 (including travel days). 

This 6-day activity will bring together young activists to explore and counter the growing wave of anti-rights, antifeminist, and anti-queer movements. Through non-formal education and peer-to-peer learning, participants will strengthen their advocacy skills, exchange intersectional strategies, and contribute to a collective resource on mapping anti-rights movements. For detailed information please see the invitation attached. 

Important note:
This activity falls under grassroots activities, and not the leadership category. We kindly ask you to share the call among your grassroots. 

We are looking for participants who:

• Are aged 18–35
• Are actively engaged in youth activism (especially feminist, queer, or social justice movements)
• Are committed to inclusive, intersectional, and solidarity-based work
• Can attend the full programme and contribute to follow-up activities

Practical details:

• Location: Vienna, Austria
• Dates: 22–27 June 2026
• Working language: English
• Participation fee: 30 EUR
