Thomas Lambert
Counsellor, Permanent Mission of Belgium to the UN

Mr. Thomas Lambert begins his talk by sharing that Belgium, being one of the first countries to institutionalise same-sex marriage in 2003 and to legalise co-parenting in 2006, has had to put forward strategies, particularly in its education systems (both the French and Flemish systems) that would enable educators to communicate these milestones, as well as LGBTQI issues for young people. He talks about these strategies and elaborates in detail in his speech.
