Amsterdam TransPride - This is my TransPride

Amsterdam TransPride - This is My TransPride This year we will be organizing the 4th annual TransPride. During the TransPride we offer a stage for transgenders to share their stories (poetry) talent, to build a bridge with the LGBQ community and the rest of society. For this year’s TransPride we want to give extra attention to the bi-cultural transgenders. The theme for TransPride 2017 is “This is My TransPride”, with this we want to reach-out to our fellow bi-cultural transgender brothers, sisters and non-binaries. The TransPride 2017 will be held on July 30th until August 4th in The Generator located in Amsterdam (Mauritskade 57, Oosterpark/ https://generatorhostels.com/destinations/amsterdam). On July 30th we will have a festive opening to the TransPride that includes; a brass band, speakers, music, singers, the singing of our TransPride anthem and the raising of the transgender flag. TransPride ambassadors This year we will have 2 ambassadors for the TransPride. They will be presented to the public and media prior to the opening of the TransPride. Each will be the representation of the TransPride in their own way, to showcase what the TransPride is all about. They will be promoting the TransPride on their social media, various media outlets, interviews and together with the TransAmsterdam team will be going on a promo tour. They will also attend the opening of the TransPride, contribute to the performances and presentations of the activities.
