We're bringing WorldPride to the UvA campuses! On 9 June, we're organising a sports and games day together with Pride and Sports at USC Universum Science Park. Get acquainted with the many LGBTQIA+ sports clubs that Amsterdam has to offer. And on 11 June, you're welcome to come to the festival at CREA, featuring music, research, a film, workshops and drag artists! Celebrate with your fellow students, connect with one another and learn more about the LGBTQIA+ community at the Pre-WorldPride Festival.

Spotlight is the queer student association operating with UvA Pride and open to all students in Amsterdam. Their ongoing projects include the gender-affirming clothing campaign GenderSwap, the informational campaign ENGAGE!, and the Queer Cinephile Society. They also regularly organise social and cultural events for queer community building.

Every year on 4 May, we lay a wreath at the Homomonument near the Westerkerk, together with the Pride organisations of Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, Inholland University of Applied Sciences, and ROC Amsterdam. At this moment, we remember all the LGBTQIA+ people who were persecuted for who they were.

Throughout the year, we organise substantive events that make LGBTQIA+ topics accessible to a wide audience from various perspectives.

Together with other educational institutions in Amsterdam, we organise a boat for the Canal Parade to show that at UvA, you can be who you are. We want to celebrate our staff and students with this initiative. Before the boat trip, we participate in the Pride Walk to show that Pride is a protest and that the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community are still not adequately protected.
