Youth as the Solution to the Anti-Rights Movement: Protecting Pluralism, Equality and Inclusion

IFLRY-CoE EYF "Youth as the Solution to the Anti-Rights Movement: Protecting Pluralism, Equality, and Inclusion" taking place in Berlin, Germany from July 7th to 10th, 2026.

In recent years, Europe has seen a rise in coordinated anti-rights narratives that threaten democracy, pluralism, and the safety of marginalized groups. This activity is designed as a proactive response, positioning youth at the forefront of defending equality. Using a highly participatory, non-formal education approach, participants will move beyond theory to develop practical strategies for resistance.

Through interactive workshops and peer exchange, we will explore the mechanisms of anti-equality rhetoric and equip you with the tools needed to promote democratic values in an increasingly polarized landscape.

We strongly encourage applications from individuals aged 18 to 30 years from IFLRY Member Organizations (MOs) who are actively resisting anti-rights narratives. Nominations from MOs in Europe, Council of Europe Member States, and Eastern Partnership (EaP) are within the scope of this call.

Kindly note: A participation fee of 45 Euros will be applicable.

If you have any questions regarding your application, please email events@iflry.org. The deadline to apply is the 8th May 2026 (23:59 CEST).
