After the inspiring 1st transgender council in Vienna 2005, Transgender Europe (TGEU), the Transgender Network Berlin (TGNB) and TransInterQueer Berlin (TrIQ) in cooperation with the Berlin Senate Coordinating Centre against Discrimination are very pleased to invite you to the

2nd European Transgender Council

>>Make human rights work<<

May 2nd − 4th 2008 Berlin, Germany

Make human rights work

This year's Council offers a full program featuring international activists and experts who will share their first hand experience in the field of human rights and Transgender related work.

Panels and Presentations will address Human Rights issues and Anti Discrimination Legislation as well as the results of the Study on the Legal and Health Situations of Transgender People in Europe, which was conducted by Press for Change (UK) in conjunction with ILGA Europe and Transgender Europe in 2007.

Workshops and Training Sessions will cover topics such as Lobbying, Fundraising, Transgender Counselling Services, Discrimination in the Workplace, Developing Advocacy Strategies and Conflict Mediation in Volunteer Organisations.

There will be opportunities to discuss and formulate the future goals of Transgender Europe, including work on a TGEU Vision Paper. As part of the General Assembly of Transgender Europe there will be an Election for the Board of Directors and the Steering Committee.

We are delighted to announce that the Council's official Show and Party will be organised by Wigstoeckel - Transgender United and that yorckberlin will present an Art Exhibition of artists involved with the theme "Transgender".

WELCOME!

The Council welcomes all people who are transsexual, transvestites, cross dressers, drag queens, drag kings, genderless, pangender, genderqueer, anyone else who self-identifies as transgender and our friends and allies. We look forward to a gathering which reflects this diversity.

THANK YOU!

Many thanks to all the Berlin-based groups and individuals who have united to organize the Council, including, among others, the Transgender Network Berlin (TGNB), TransInterQueer (TrIQ), Wigstöckel − Transgender United and TIA M.
