For the Rainbow Days Enschede, Th!nk with Pride University of Twente and Th!nk with Pride Saxion are joining forces to organize a symposium centered around LGBTQ+ inclusion at their institutions and beyond. This is a topic that spans the full width of our universities: from making our education inclusive, to making an impact via inclusive policy, to conducting research to underpin these undertakings. Beyond that, the symposium will also give space for personal stories to be told, as these experiences can inspire us all.
