United: Where Everyone Belongs in Antwerp*
The Antwerp Association of Universities & Colleges sent a clear message: “In Antwerp, everyone could be themselves.” From May 12 to 17, the United* diversity campaign highlighted inclusion and equal opportunity—values under pressure worldwide.

On Monday, May 12, all AUHA campuses raised the shared Pride flag. Students and staff cycled alongside Lien Van de Kelder, Antwerp’s Alderman for Equal Opportunities, hanging the flag across the city’s universities and colleges.
In the lead-up to IDAHOT (May 17)—the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia—a series of activities united our community: a screening of Young Hearts, the Queer Café, personal testimonies by Michel Malo in Cinema Cartoons, and insights from Imran Nawaz, Mister Gay Belgium. On May 17, our colorful delegation joined Brussels Pride to stand United* against discrimination.
This campaign wasn’t just a statement—it was a movement. Driven by knowledge and commitment, it built campuses where diversity, inclusion, and collaboration were at the heart of the community, ensuring Antwerp remained a place where everyone truly belonged.





Looking ahead to August 2025, we’ll join Antwerp Pride’s parade and co-organize a family event on human rights, gender, and consent. True to our motto Lovers gonna love, we’ll continue celebrating diversity, sparking meaningful dialogue, and ensuring everyone feels celebrated and heard.


Here are just a few examples of impactful projects we were involved in.
