Since 2014 Stichting Pride Amsterdam has successfully organised the annual Pride in Amsterdam. Stichting Pride Amsterdam is the hub connecting organisations and businesses that collaborate to realise the festival. The festival is organised with the following committees: Hospitality, Boat Parade, Pride Walk, Arts & Culture, Sport Pride, Women & Pride, Youth Pride, Senior Pride, Trans Pride, Religion Pride, Fetish Pride and Corporate Pride. The committees focus on programming tailored to their audiences and work to increase visibility for those communities.

Stichting Pride Amsterdam is a non-profit organisation that strives for emancipation, social, civic and legal equality and acceptance of gay, bisexual and lesbian people, and for those who do not or cannot conform to dominant gender roles (such as masculine women, feminine men and queers), or whose sex assigned at birth does not match how they feel (such as transgender people). Visibility of diversity is essential to achieve this.What you see can’t be ignored.

Skills for a Shared Future

In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared 15 July as World Youth Skills Day, to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship.

The world of work is changing rapidly. Artificial intelligence, the green transition and growing social complexity are transforming how we learn, work and participate in society. To thrive in this changing landscape, young people need more than technical skills alone. They need a balanced set of competencies that combines technical, digital, AI, green, social-emotional and civic skills with the human qualities that technology cannot replace.

Under the theme “Skills for a shared future”,  this year’s World Youth Skills Day activities will spotlight the urgent need for innovative youth skills programmes—initiatives that empower young people not only to adapt, but to lead with empathy, bridge cultural divides, build resilience, and actively shape a more sustainable and inclusive tomorrow.
