Equality Belongs to Everyone

At Xamk, participating in Pride is a visible and important way to show our support for diversity, human rights, and equal opportunities. These are the same principles we strive to uphold in our campuses’ everyday life. To make Xamk a truly inclusive and safe place for everyone—both staff and students—we need clear, shared guidelines for how we operate. 

Xamk has established ethical principles that guide all members of our higher education institution community to treat everyone with respect, promote equality, and respect diversity. The safes space principles at Xamk are intended to be applied in all events, activities, and facilities. Their purpose is to create a supportive and non-threatening environment where everyone can feel comfortable and express themselves without fear of discrimination. 

The purpose of Pride Month is to celebrate equality and raise awareness of the ongoing struggle for equal rights within the LGBTQIA+ community. Pride serves as a platform for promoting inclusivity and belonging. It helps foster understanding of diversity and the idea that our differences are what make each person unique. Everyone should be able to be themselves openly, without fear of discrimination or harassment.
