What is Pride University?

Pride University is a collaboration between the Pride departments of the five Amsterdam educational institutions, which jointly strive for a diverse, inclusive, and safe environment for everyone in education. On Saturday, 3 August, the institutions will again participate collectively in the Canal Parade.

All students, colleagues, and other curious individuals are welcome at The Social Hub to participate in this free queer lecture series. The Social Hub is the headquarters of Pride Amsterdam, and there is lots to experience. Reserve your ticket quickly, as spaces are limited!
