Connecting the World through Pride
WorldPride Amsterdam 2026 will be a celebration of connection, a moment when activists, allies and communities from every corner of the world come together under one powerful theme: UNITY.
To make this gathering accessible, meaningful and unforgettable, we proudly introduce the Global UNITY Program, a curated experience designed for international delegates, human rights defenders, and changemakers who embody the spirit of Pride. Through the Global UNITY Program, guests will not only take part in the festivities but truly become part of the movement. In the registration form you will be asked to choose between 4 different packages (see brochure); InterPride and EPOA members will receive a 50% discount on these packages. In the registration form you can also apply for a scholarship and request an invitation letter you might need for your visa application.
The program welcomes applications from LGBTQIA+ activists and organisations worldwide. Participation is limited and subject to review. Priority may be given to applicants whose work aligns with the mission and values of WorldPride. Our aim is a diverse, balanced and truly global representation.
SCHOLARSHIPSFor activists and changemakers facing financial barriers, a scholarship programme is available. In the registration form you can apply for financial aid. Scholarships may cover participation fees and/or travel and accommodation costs, depending on individual circumstances and available funds. Priority will be given to applicants from countries listed on the OECD DAC List of ODA Recipients, in recognition of global income disparities and in alignment with the inclusive values of WorldPride Amsterdam 2026.Please note: the deadline to apply for a scholarship has passed, and it is unfortunately no longer possible to apply.!

About the Human Rights Conference
During the 3-day conference, four main themes will take centre stage: Rights & Governance, Health & Wellbeing, Heritage & Culture, Resources & Leadership. The opening day on 5 August consists of a plenary opening programme and options for breakout sessions, concluding with a joint closing programme. On 6 August, aside from the four main themes, there will be a side programme focusing on society and policy implementation. On 7 August, there will be a side programme focusing on workplace empowerment, after which the day ends in a joint closing session. The exact times and number of sessions will be announced during Q1 2026, and the detailed content will be published in early Q2 2026.
