Contact us for more information.

Training

Intersex Greece alone or in collaboration with (NGO) Rainbow School is delivering training packages to organisations, school communities, educators, spiritual leaders, policy makers and where ever is needed. These trainings can be delivered online or face-to-face (subject to availability and public health regulations) by experienced people with lived experience. Trainings include:

  • Brief introduction to Intersex people and issues (around 120 minutes, including question time) – please enquire us via email
  • Intersex content workshops (around 4 hours, including group work) – please enquire us via email
  • Intersex for Allies, presentation (around 2 hours, including questions) – please enquire us via email
  • Guest lectures and speaking engagements – please enquire us via email

All trainers are people with intersex variations or parents of intersex children and trained expert advocates, who have participated in training delivered by OII Europe, under the EU funded program RISE.

Peer Support

We know peer-to-peer support is most valuable: People with intersex variations and our family members and allies may wish to join our forum, our social media, or our Facebook group Intersex Greece for getting in contact with us and our intersex or advocate members. Our facebook group is a “closed” one, to maintain the privacy of members. Please visit the group page if you wish to join. We warmly welcome new parents or parents-to-be in need for peer-to-peer or family support, through small closed groups with only a few parents and complete privacy.

Advocacy, human rights and law reform

Since 2017, Intersex Greece is actively engaged in promoting recognition of intersex people in law and regulations, with a particular focus on improving recognition of our health needs and human rights. Our contributions to politicians and public life in Greece include:
