The aim of the Prides against Prejudice conference is to provide practical support to LGBT activists who organise or plan to organise a Pride event in a hostile environment, whether in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe, or elsewhere in Europe.

To this end it will build on the successes achieved so far by sharing the lessons gained and by exploring the ways that European institutions and international solidarity can contribute to further advances. It will also share positive learning from the UK, with workshops on "Pride and policing" and "Pride and diversity".

To make this know-how available to a wider audience a toolkit on organising Pride in a hostile environment will be published after the conference.
