Qom ut - Pride parade

On Saturday, 23 August, Jönköping University (JU) will participate in Jönköping's Pride Parade for the 12th time! All employees are welcome to participate in the parade to show Jönköping that JU is an inclusive study and work environment where all students and employees are treated with respect.

JU’s President Måns Svensson will participate in the parade and would like employees to join in.

“I see the values of the Pride movement as self-evident and important if we want to create an educational institution that puts people first,” says Måns Svensson.

The event at JU will begin with a pre-parade gathering in the Orangery at HLK. JU will provide snacks and non-alcoholic beverages at the gathering. After the parade, there will be an after-party at Sofiehof, where both the restaurant and bar will be open for those who want to refuel at cost price.
