In Belarus, the IDAHOT-2015 day was celebrated with a great event for journalists and activists on May 18th in the city centre of Minsk.

Around 20 journalists and activists gathered for the Russian ‘Children-404′ documentary presentation and a skype-conference with the film co-producer Askold Kurov. The film had a great impression on the event participants. They put a lot of questions to the film co-author, regarding the film background and its outcome.

Following the film presentation and the skype-conference, a mini-presentation of a creative brochure on Correct LGBT Coverage in Mass Media with dozens of hints to journalists and editors was delivered by its author Aleh Razhkou. More details here.

However, other IDAHO events did go ahead. Activists organized a series of educational and social events in commemoration of IDAHO 2012. They included a round-table discussion on “LGBT and education – The changing role of education in shaping LGBT-phobia and its transformation into a part of the solution, not part of the problem”, a film screening of the Italian comedy “Single Shots”, and a discussion.
