Federation of Young European Greens

Title: "Queering Green Theory/Greening Queer Theory"
Place: Zagreb, Croatia
Date: 11th- 16th April 2012
Deadline: 10th March 2012

The Green European Foundation, the Heinrich-Böll Foundation and FYEG will organise a seminar with the title "Queering Green Theory/Greening Queer Theory" in Zagreb, Croatia from the 11th to the 16th April 2012. This seminar will be the first part of a series of three seminars on the Balkans in 2012 concerning the issue of LGBTQ.

During this first seminar we want to discuss the academic and activist dimension of Queer Theory. We want to assess questions such as: What does it mean to "be gay or Lesbian"? How is it connected with broader concepts such as sexuality, identity, bodiness etc.? How can we as Greens address LGTBQ as a Human Rights issue?

The main aims of the seminar are:

• education on LGBTQ rights
• preparing specific actions for the second seminar
• cooperating with the LGBTQ scene in Croatia

From the technical side, we strive to reimburse 70 % of the participants. Accomodation and food will be fully covered.
