‘My Gender, My Pride’. That’s this year’s theme of the world-famous Amsterdam Pride – and TSH is excited (and very proud) to announce that once again The Student Hotel Amsterdam City will turn into the official Pride Hotel for Pride 2022!
TSH locations are places where open, curious, and adventurous people from across the globe can meet and connect, and where acceptance, tolerance, and open-mindedness are at the core of the community. TSH offers platforms and safe spaces for the LGBTQIA+ community to celebrate diversity and love, connect, share, and educate one another and the public.
This year promises to be an Amsterdam Pride edition to never forget. Over the course of 9 days, there’ll be over 300 events including a Pride Walk and Canal Parade, and people from all over the world will come to the Dutch capital to celebrate love and diversity together.
And the festivities will not only be held in Amsterdam this year. The city of Groningen is bringing Pride up North for the very first time, and TSH Groningen will be the very first Pride Hotel there! More on that further down in this article.
We’re proud to say TSH Amsterdam City is confirmed as The Pride Hotel for the second year in a row now, transforming its spaces into a platform for the LGBTQIA+ community to connect, share, and educate.

Pride University #5: Pinkwashing 101 - how organizations engage with LGBTQIA+ themes and how it should be done
In this interactive masterclass, Anna Berbers will address the topic of pinkwashing and how it is experienced by LGBTQIA+ individuals. Many organisations communicate about LGBTQIA+ topics with the outside world in advertisements and in their social media presence, much more often during pride. With this communication, companies try to present themselves as an ally to LGBTQIA+ individuals, while their behaviour towards this group is in some cases less than supportive. We will discuss different sides to this topic and explore how corporations can communicate more inclusively, without engaging in the ‘sin’ of pinkwashing.
Skip the small talk, and send them instructions! In this workshop, we will focus on love languages and use zines to each create ‘A guide to loving me’.

No prior skills or knowledge are required and you have no obligation to speak or share if you are not comfortable.
