BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANISATION

Oikogeneies Ouranio Tokso (Rainbow Families of Greece) is an NGO focusing on LGBTQI+ parents and their families as well as on parents of LGBTQI+ children. We are a supporting member of NELFA (Network of European LGBTIQ* Families Associations) and maintain contact with other LGBTQI+ organisations in Greece and abroad.

The organisation’s core goals are mobilisation, representation, dissemination of information, support, empowerment and advocacy of Rainbow Families in Greece.

Some of our activities involve the following:
- We hold monthly support meetings in collaboration with therapists, legal advisers, social scientists and other experts, with a focus both on parenting as a non-heterosexual as well as on being a parent to non-heterosexual children (our ‘Proud parents’ group).
- We have organized two conferences and published three children’s books.
- We formally participate as an organization in the Athens Pride Festival every year, and organize an annual celebration for the IFED (International Family Equality Day) in Greece.

HOW THE ORGANISATION WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISSEMINATION AND EXPLOITATION OF THE PROJECT RESULTS

As an organisation we are committed to fighting discrimination and promoting human rights. Through our participation in the ‘I have rights’ project we hope to exchange experience and ideas and gain new, valuable insights. The project results will be disseminated and promoted through our mobilisation and activities, which involve –among other things– the publication of informative material/guides, the education of educators, the organisation of conferences, and the participation in conferences.
