WELCOME TO
COLOURFUL PRIDE
Colourful Pride
Colourful Pride, also known as "For the People, Connecting People" is a dynamic organization that creates safe spaces for the LGBTQIA+ community, their families, and supporters. We specifically focus on marginalized groups and the Queer BIPOC community. Through various initiatives and programs, we promote an inclusive society, equality, acceptance, and visibility for the Queer community. A Colourful society for everyone.
Sports
Sports bring people together and connect them. We create more visibility for women and Queer individuals in sports and build bridges between different groups and society. Together, we make a difference!
Empowerment and Resilience Workshops
Our workshops and panels offer tools and knowledge for resilience and self-confidence, focusing on personal growth and strengthening community bonds.
Festive Events
Our festive events promote joy and connection within the Queer community, with a special focus on queer women. They celebrate diversity and create an inclusive and accepting atmosphere.
MISSION AND VISION
Colourful Pride focuses on ensuring that everyone within the LGBTIQIA+ community can be themselves. We believe that every person, regardless of sex, gender, ethnicity, color, background, culture or orientation, has the right to live freely and proudly.
Our mission is to promote the emancipation, empowerment and visibility of the queer community, with a special focus on the BIPOC queer community and other marginalized groups. We strive for a world where everyone can be themselves freely and safely. Colourful Pride strengthens community bonds, promotes equality and supports the unique journey of each individual within the queer community. Through collaboration and understanding, we strive for lasting positive change.
COLOURFUL PRIDE SPORTS DAY
Sport connects us and brings us closer together, and that is the essence of the Colourful Pride Sports Day. The very first edition of this sports day took place during the Pink Kwaku Festival 2024 and marked an important milestone for inclusivity in sports. This event created a safer and more inclusive space where everyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, could experience the joy of sports. The day was specially, though not exclusively, focused on LGBTQIA+ individuals, offering a unique opportunity to come together, empower each other, and build bridges between different communities.

TRAININGS
Vulnerability & Self-Love Training
The aim of the training is to take a first step in normalizing discussing feelings and showing vulnerability in the LGBTIQ+ BBPOC community. Discussing these topics will increase the sense of self-love, self-acceptance and self-esteem.
During this (online) training, the personal interpretations of vulnerability and self-love are discussed in more detail in an interactive manner. In addition, we look at what vulnerability means and in which different ways you can increase your love for yourself.
Diversity and Inclusion Training
What exactly does diversity and inclusion mean? Where is the distinction? When do you speak of equality? How is diversity and inclusion experienced in daily life?
These are a few questions that are discussed during the training and insight is provided through various cases and role play.
