Četvrti sastanak Evropskih Nacionalnih komiteta kampanje

U Varšavi, Poljskoj je 2.-6. marta 2007. održan 4. sastanak NCC-a. U toku 2007. u okviru kampanje na evropskom nivou planirane su tematske nedelje na razlicite teme vezane za kampanju (homofobija, islamofobija, antisemitizam, romofobija...).

Prva nedelja marta je u okviru kampanje bila tematska nedelja borbe protiv homofobije i u Varšavi je, u saradnji sa sekretarijatom u Strazburu i nevladinim organizacijama iz Poljske, organizovan niz aktivnosti kojima bi se istakla potreba da se rasvetle problemi sa kojima se LGBTQ grupe svakodnevno srecu i žive, da se o njima krene razmišljati i delovati.

Global village u centru grada sa koncertima, debatama, filmskim programom, ”living library” i raznim drugim zanimljivim aktivnostima, marš solidarnosti za žene, otvaranje izložbe u Austrijskom kulturnom centru ”Homophobia, this is how it looks like” bili su samo deo programa tematske nedelje borbe protiv homofobije.

Ucesnici 4. sastanka nacionalnih komiteta kampanje su svojim prisustvom pružili podršku realizaciji ovog dogadaja.
