About this form


You are a member of TGEU (or are applying to become one)? You are trans and consider yourself an artist? You would like to present your work to the community? TGEU invites all Council participants to submit a performance or exhibition proposal. Feel free to be creative! Proposals will be reviewed by TGEU Board and Staff and the selection will be mindful of the Council’s space, time, and budget capacity.

We especially encourage trans people from further marginalised backgrounds to come forward, including Black people and People of Colour, D/deaf and disabled people, people with a migration background, sex workers, trans women, and gender-non-conforming people, people living with HIV, and people from Western Europe and Central Asia. We will give priority to trans and queer activists from TGEU member organisations and underrepresented groups. You're not a member yet? Become one! More info on why and how to become a member here.

Background information
  • About TGEU
TGEU is a membership-based network and represents more than 200 member organisations in 50 countries. TGEU’s mission is to strengthen the rights and wellbeing of trans people in Europe and Central Asia. We strive to represent the diverse needs of our members within human rights mechanisms, build the capacity and skills of our members to meet the needs of local communities, and develop intersectional and decolonised programmes to build more resilient and connected trans movements.
  • About the TGEU European and Central Asian Trans Council
The Council is the largest community and political gathering of trans activists in Europe and Central Asia. With around 200 participants every second year, the Council is both a forum setting the agenda for trans politics and a celebration of the trans community.

This year we are excited to welcome you to the 10th TGEU European and Central Asian Trans Council, which will be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia from 10 to 13 September. The Council will be hosted in collaboration with our local members, Legebitra and TransAkcija. In the spirit of this year’s Council theme, Transphoria: collectively resist and celebrate again and again, 200 trans activists, allies, policymakers, and donors are expected to gather as a community to celebrate our resilience and joy, share experiences, and collectively develop strategies to resist backlash and advance trans rights across the region. We are looking forward to connecting with you there! Please make sure you submit your application before the deadline on Sunday, 24 May 2026 at 23:00 CEST.
