At NHL Stenden, we embrace diversity and inclusion philosophy. Our starting point is that everyone, regardless of gender, sexual preference, age, religion, disabilities in any form, skin color and social or ethnic background should feel welcome and safe with us. That’s why we want to pay special attention to the LGBT+ group within our university of applied sciences on Coming Out Day.
NHL Stenden is proud that a group of students and employees is active within the NHL Stenden Pride group within the university of applied sciences. This group is open to everyone and aims to make the LGBT+ community within the university visible to anyone who needs support with coming out, to be available with information for education, to act as a discussion partner in the university's broad diversity philosophy. And of course to make ‘noise’ at LGBT+ holidays or anniversaries!
This year Coming-Out day has a special touch, it is also the week in which Pink Saturday, an annual national event, is held and this time in our Frisian capital.
