As a member of the EPOA (European Pride Organizers Association), Rosa Lëtzebuerg participated in this year's AGM (Annual General Meeting) from October 6 to 9 in Turin.

On the agenda were, among other things, the amendment of the statutes of the EPOA, a partial re-election of the Board of Directors and the election of the location for the next General Assembly in 2023. The highlight, however, was the vote on the hosting of Europride in 2025, where two candidacies were presented: that of Lisbon Pride, represented by a coalition of four organizations, and the CSD Magdeburg. With 79% of the delegates votes, Lisbon came out victorious.

In further workshops, the handling of kinks and fetishes at Pride events, risk communication (regarding monkeypox) as well as an upcoming major reform of the statutes of Interpride, which is likely to have an impact on EPOA as well as the individual local Prides, were discussed. 

Furthermore, representatives of the Kyiv Pride and Kharikiv Pride reported on their experiences during the last 7 months. In this context, an interim report on the EPOA's support campaign, in which Rosa Lëtzebuerg and Luxembourg Pride had also participated, was also given: a little bit more than 100,000€ had been collected among the EPOA members, which will be made available to the Pride organizers in Ukraine, either in monetary form or through contributions in kind, such as the renting of premises or the purchase of vehicles.

As part of this support campaign, supporter flags were also produced and were present at the various Prides in Europe, as well as in Luxembourg. As part of the General Meeting, all Prides where this flag was present were signed with the corresponding attendance figures. This flag was gifted to the representatives of the Prides of Kyiv and Kharkiv. The flag will be added to an queer archive once the war in Ukraine is over.
