Empowering Young People and Youth Workers to Become Active Upstanders in the Prevention of Violence Towards LGBTIQ+ People in the Digital Era

Objective 1 of Up4Diversity was to create a European network of professionals for the exchange of effective training practices.

After the lifespan of the European REC project Up4Diversity (October 2020 – August 2022), the Consortium agreed to continue organising training, support and networking opportunities for people working with youth interested in the project’s approach.

Each year we will do 4 online events of 90 min each in English. 

Session formats:

WHO is invited and expected to participate?
