As the world celebrates the International Day against Homophobia, we cannot but be compelled to re-strengthen our networks and to prepare for the battles against hatred that must be fought. Our Intergroup, composed of MEPs from nearly all of the political families within the European Parliament, intends to remain a dependable partner. We welcome IDAHO and hope that many of you will celebrate in your local communities this important day on our calendar.

Do these this fit together? If you do not want to stick to the level of personal points of view and polemic, you have to do at first what science always does: You define your subject. If a children and youth organisation like the IFM-SEI talks about children it refers to the UN Convention on the rights of the child. In this convention all young people from the age of 0 to 18 years are defined as children. Organisations like they are organised in the IFM-SEI have their membership in this age range. Knowing that pre-puberty starts between 8 and 10 years and puberty sometimes takes until 18 years you clearly see that the age group we are talking about is included in this age range.

Joint declaration of FYEG- Young European Greens, ECOSY-Young European Socialists, LYMEC- Young European Liberals and JEF-Young European Federalists on Homophobia in Europe:

"Youth political organisations call for adoption of Resolution on Homophobia in Europe"

The band: Music and identity

In the media working group band we made some reasearch on topic of music connected to queer identity and also other activities on the topic. Our work was not only about playing the instruments but also using music as a mean of political and personal expression. During the week we worked a lot but also enjoying the time we spent together.

The Political Action MWG focused on campaigning, networking and lobbying on LGBT issues. Discussions wend from philosophical to personal to strategic political.
