International Women’s Day Breda is back for its 4th edition on Friday, 8 March 2024. It’s time to mark your calendars and join us in celebrating #IWD24.

This year’s global theme is #InspireInclusion. We want to break down barriers and invite everyone to talk about fairness, being equal, and including everyone. Our main topic in Breda for the evening is sports, which is a way for people to join in and feel part of something. With events like the UEFA cup and the Olympics happening this year, we, therefore, invited a former Olympic hockey player from The Netherlands and another speaker whose role in female leadership in sports is essential in Breda and region. Rest assured, the entire event will be conducted in English, ensuring accessibility and relevance for individuals of all genders, backgrounds, and cultures.

Don’t miss this captivating event, where we’ll dive into a topic of everyone’s interests, fostering inclusiveness and diversity. It’s all about: “Why diversity matters in sports – team up” at our networking event in the chapel of Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas).
