We are excited that you are interested in being a part of IGLYO’s International Youth Conference on Counteracting the Anti-Gender Movement. Before you apply, please read through the full call.

The International Youth Conference will take place in Dublin (Ireland) on 20-25 July 2026. You are expected to arrive on 20 July and depart on 25 July. The event itself will take 4 full days (21-24 July).

Through this form, you can apply both as a participant, and as a member of the Advisory Panel (optional).

Please answer the questions in this application form by 13 April 2026 at 23:59 CET (final deadline) with as much information as necessary, and we will let you know the result of your application soon after the deadline.

Important note: We encourage you to submit a personal application that genuinely reflects your experiences and motivations. Generic applications that are clearly AI-generated will automatically receive a lower score. We strongly value hearing directly from you about your journey, what drives you in your activism, and your specific interest in this opportunity.
