Teach with Pride

Published Jul 07, 2025

On Wednesday 30 July, COC Nederland is organising Teach With Pride as part of Amsterdam Pride. It is an afternoon for education professionals from vocational, secondary and primary education to meet, share experiences and support one another. Because the event takes place during the summer holidays, the emphasis is on both informal and convivial activities as well as substantive sessions. Lunch is included, and the gathering begins and ends with a queer comedian. This is followed by drinks.

Our Food Week

From 3 to 10 October 2026, it is Our Food Week. A great opportunity to focus with your class at primary school on where our food comes from, how it is made and why healthy and sustainable choices are important. Food education allows pupils not only to learn, but especially to experience. That is why various organisations are joining forces to support schools with inspiring activities, teaching materials and practical tools. Examples include the Mayors’ Breakfast, a free visit to a farm, or shopping vouchers for cooking in the classroom.
