Your Next Global Adventure Awaits!

IGLYO's Global Online Activist Academy is a 3-week skills-based training programme for young people aged 18-30 years old at the beginning of their activist careers who are passionate about activism, advocacy and learning, and have a strong interest in LGBTQI rights.  Over the course of the Activist Academy, participants will take part in expert-led workshops and live sessions, as well as attempt one skill-based task to apply the skills they learned, while receiving feedback from the Activist Academy experts. The sixth online edition of the Activist Academy will gather selected participants from around the world from 1 to 18 April 2025.

This year's focus will be on "Project Management for LGBTQI Activism," equipping participants with the skills to manage projects that prioritise equity, sustainability, and inclusivity through a queer decolonial perspective. The programme will emphasise incorporating intersectional knowledge into every stage of project management, employing queer methodologies, addressing structural power imbalances, and confronting systems of oppression in activism. It will also highlight the importance of fostering meaningful cross-border collaborations and embedding care and well-being into project practices, ensuring initiatives are impactful, transformative, and grounded in resilience and justice.
