so all bi+ people in Europe - and beyond- with all their intersecting identities, needs and victories are represented by a well-structured bi+ entity.
“Bi+ Nederland” from The Netherlands and “Spectrum” from France joined forces, expertise and experience, and of course passion for equality. We respond to a longtime felt gap and will create the European bi+ umbrella legal entity. The shape and functionalities of the entity, whether it is a network, organisation or collective, will be decided by all members through the process. This is simply done by the bi+ community, for the bi+ community!
Objective I
Mapping the existing bi+ initiatives, organisations and networks in Europe, conducting a needs assessment, and collecting and sharing good practices
Objective II
Facilitating capacity building, mutual learning and exchange, by organizing online and in person opportunities
Objective III
Explore and create a European bi+ legal entity through a participative process
And many more volunteers and members of the European bi+ community
