What can you expect?
Join us for the June edition of Community Drinks on Thursday, June 25th, from 17:30 to 19:00, for an evening of conversation, connection, and reflection on what it means to build inclusive communities in diverse international spaces.

Under the theme “Diverse Voices, Shared Spaces: Exploring Inclusion and Community”, this edition brings together members of The Hague’s international ecosystem to explore how diversity, belonging, accessibility, and participation shape stronger communities, workplaces, and collaborations.

As one of the world’s most internationally connected cities, The Hague is home to people from a wide range of cultural, professional, and social backgrounds. Across sectors such as human rights, peacebuilding, migration, social innovation, accessibility, arts and culture, and civil society, conversations around inclusion and representation are increasingly relevant to how communities function and grow.

This edition of Community Drinks creates an informal and welcoming space where different perspectives, lived experiences, and ideas can come together openly. Rather than approaching inclusion as a purely institutional concept, the evening focuses on the everyday practices, conversations, and connections that help people feel seen, heard, and able to participate meaningfully in shared spaces.

Through short spotlights and open discussion, we will explore questions such as:

• How can diverse perspectives strengthen collaboration, creativity, and social impact?
• What role do accessibility, representation, and belonging play in shaping stronger international communities?
• How can informal spaces and networks create opportunities for connection, participation, and change?
• The programme aims to foster thoughtful exchange across disciplines, sectors, and experiences — while creating space for new connections, reflection, and collaboration in a relaxed community setting.

Who are the speakers?

• Stichting Queer Mind is a dedicated organization working to combat homelessness and insecurity among LHBTIQ+ youth in the Netherlands.
