Sphere Session 7: East meets West & Prague Pride

Central & Eastern Europe: A different reality?

The Central & East European (CEE) region is often treated in discussions about Human Rights and Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) as an outsider. The negative LGBTIQ news that reaches us from this part of Europe has certainly not helped to change this perception. We want to share with you a different picture of D&I in this region, a picture of dynamic and successful NGO’s that, with the help of a young population and the support of the business world, are gradually changing the existing homophobic status into an open and diverse society. We bring on stage a great mix of countries as well with corporates as with NGOs. Join us to hear insights and practical good examples from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Russia.
