Proud partner of Luleå Pride
Luleå University of Technology was once again a proud partner of Luleå Pride, a partnership that has spanned many years. Through our involvement, we showed our support for the rights of LGBTI+ people and highlighted the importance of an open and inclusive society.
During Pride week, the university participated with a stand and in the parade, and our commitment was also highlighted in our own channels. It was a natural part of our work to contribute to a safe and welcoming environment, both on our campuses and in society at large.
So why is it so important that we as a university get involved in Luleå Pride? This is what Vice-Chancellor Birgitta Bergvall-Kåreborn says:
- For us at Luleå University of Technology, it is a matter of course to support Luleå Pride. It is about the equal value of all people, rights and that all love is equally valuable. Now that we are in the middle of a social transformation in northern Sweden, we need to create attractive and inclusive communities where people want to live and live, which is a prerequisite for succeeding with the green transition.
We are so happy for the fantastic turnout this weekend when we stood in Stadsparken and participated in the parade. Thank you to all of you who came by, talked, laughed and celebrated with us!
