Leiden University Canal Pride Boat |
|
The Leiden Canal Pride Parade is returning on September 7. Of course, Leiden University will participate again by sponsoring a boat for its LGBTQIA+ community at Leiden University. The Leiden University LGBT+ Network invites you to be part of the celebration!
There is space for 60 people on the boat. If you wish to participate and join, please share with us a short motivation why you want to be part of the Leiden University Pride Boat. In case we receive more applications, we will inform you around mid-July whether you’re invited to join.
The theme of this year will be Leiden University, space to be trans*.
While we usually associate trans* with trans*gender and gender non-conforming identities, we use trans* here with an even broader meaning, highlighting also trans*cultural and trans*formative experiences of finding new communities and growing as a queer person at the university. With this theme, we want to express our support for the trans and non-binary community of Leiden University, while also recognizing that everybody at the university has their own trans*formative/gressive/itive experiences.
The theme is also a call to action. Trans and non-binary students and employees still face discrimination in the university. If we want to celebrate the trans and non-binary community, the university will need to make sure to safeguard the wellbeing of its trans and non-binary students and employees. It needs to make more space for trans*.
To that effect, we encourage you to write an email to lgbtnetwork@leidenuniv.nl if you notice any area where the university policy falls short in protecting trans and non-binary students and employees, so that we can take action.
This year, we'll be organizing a DIY workshop two weeks before the Pride Parade where participants are invited to decorate their own demonstration signs and outfits. The time and location for this workshop will be announced closer to the date
We’re looking forward to celebrating a fantastic Leiden Canal Pride Parade with you!
