Empowerment and protection
LGBTQ+ youth organisations: between professionalisation and activism
‘Protect queer youth’ is this year’s theme for Pride Zurich. What does it actually mean to protect queer young people? And how do organisations create spaces that are truly accessible without compromising on professionalism?
At the Checkpoint Zurich panel discussion, representatives and activists from youth organisations will discuss how they balance activism with institutional requirements. They will share their practical experiences, talk about the opportunities and challenges of their work, and explain how they design programmes to ensure that young people are reached, taken seriously and empowered.
Featuring contributions from du-bist-du, Milchjugend and IGLYO, among others.
Thank you
A big thank you goes to our supporters and partners who are making our participation in Pride possible.
