Summary
This June, our campus comes alive with Pride Month - a series of events celebrating diversity, inclusion and community.
null
In today’s global climate, acceptance of LGBTQIA+ people is increasingly under pressure — including here in the Netherlands. This makes it all the more important to actively demonstrate our commitment to inclusion, solidarity and meaningful connection.
Our Approach
To support LGBTQIA+ students and staff, we have organised a wide range of events and initiatives throughout the month. These have been developed in close collaboration with students from the LGBTQIA+ community, with the shared aim of creating a campus where everyone feels seen, respected and supported.
Join Us
We warmly invite all students and staff to take part in the programme, learn from one another, and help build a campus where everyone truly belongs.
