Working Groups
The European Forum brings together volunteers in a number of Working Groups, each focusing on a specific area of our shared mission. These groups create spaces for collaboration, advocacy, community building, and theological reflection – all working to advance LGBTI+ inclusion in faith communities across Europe and beyond.
Youth Working Group
Youth Working Group brings together young people in the European Forum to build community, learn our shared history, and take an active role in shaping a more inclusive and vibrant future. We want to create spaces where young voices are heard, newcomers feel at home, and our movement continues to grow across generations.
