In 2023, the Work With Pride initiative took center stage, bringing together diverse voices, companies, and communities to celebrate LGBTQ+ rights in the workplace. The event built on the momentum of previous years, expanding its reach and deepening its impact across Europe.
What Is Work With Pride?
Work With Pride is a collaborative platform that partners with corporate sponsors, NGOs, and city governments to promote inclusive hiring practices, employee resource groups, and public awareness campaigns. The 2023 edition focused on creating a safe, supportive environment for LGBTQ+ professionals and allies, offering workshops, networking sessions, and keynote speeches from industry leaders.
Highlights of the 2023 Celebration
The 2023 event unfolded in a series of coordinated activities across several key locations. A major highlight was the vibrant and inclusive celebration of Cologne Pride, where participants from all walks of life marched in the streets, shared stories, and celebrated diversity. The festivities were broadcasted live on YouTube, with a dedicated channel hosted by Zuxxina, who provided behind‑the‑scenes footage and interviews with attendees.
Another milestone was the official recap video of Together With, a partnership that brought together multiple advocacy groups to amplify LGBTQ+ voices. The video, which was released on the event’s official channel, showcased the impact of the collaboration and highlighted key moments from the day.
