On August 24, the University of Liège took part in the Pride march organized by Liège Pride, with an information stand and a float led by the ULiège community. A colorful procession to celebrate diversity and fight against LGBTQIA+phobia.
Nearly 4,000 people joined the long Pride parade in downtown Liège on Saturday afternoon. In addition to an information stand where people could meet ULiège's actions, the university had chosen to show its support with a float, decorated and maneuvered by volunteers from the ULiège community. In the presence of Rector Anne-Sophie Nyssen and Ethics and Equality Policy Advisor Florence Caeymaex, the ULiège delegation walked the streets of the Cité ardente alongside staff, students and participants in the event.
