The all-inclusive.
LGBTeam Building
A serious conversation. A joyful experience. A team outing with impact.
Looking for a team experience that goes beyond drinks and dinner?
Want something that strengthens connection and deepens awareness?
LGBTeam Building is an outdoor DE&I experience in the heart of Amsterdam, designed for companies that take inclusion seriously, but also understand that learning works best when it’s engaging, human and memorable. In just two hours, your team will walk, reflect, laugh, share stories, and discover the queer history that shaped Amsterdam and the relevance it has for your workplace today. Plus, all are welcome! The rainbow is for everyone. 🌈
This is not a lecture.
This is not corporate training in disguise.
This is a powerful shared experience.
What will we do?
Together, we explore the historic "pink heart" of Amsterdam on a guided 2-hour walk led by a local queer DE&I expert and professional storyteller. Along the way, we'll explore:
Queer history in Amsterdam
The meaning of coming out (and coming in)
Pride & politics
Inclusion in everyday life and the workplace
The LGBTQ+ rights evolution

The interaction between culture and religion
Using personal storytelling and small-group reflection, participants connect themes from the city's history to their own experiences. Being outside the office creates a different energy; open, safe, and surprisingly honest.
Expect insight.
Expect perspective shifts.
Expect laughter, too.
