Purple Friday

Wear purple

Friday 9 October is Purple Friday at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. It’s a day to show that everyone should be able to be themselves: whoever you are, whoever you love and however you identify. So, wear something purple! And while you’re at it, check out some of the activities happening around campus, all centered around gender, sexuality and being yourself.

Lecture Thorn de Vries

12:00 - 13:15 | Speakers' Corner

Dutch actor and writer Thorn de Vries will be joining us for a special Purple Friday lecture. Thorn advocates for greater non-binary visibility and often speaks and writes about gender, identity and representation. During this lunch lecture, Thorn will share their own experiences and talk about representation and working in the media.

Exhibition Gender-Inclusive Communication

Atrium

What does it feel like when the usual boxes and labels don’t quite fit? And what role does language play in that? The Gender-Inclusive Communication exhibition puts personal stories about gender diversity at its heart, bringing experiences to the surface that might otherwise go unseen.

And it’s not just something to look at. The exhibition invites you to take part, reflect on your own perspective and start a conversation with others.

And there’s more…

There’ll be more happening around THUAS throughout the day. So find something purple, come along and join us for Purple Friday. 💜
