Do you want to ensure that other queer students can meet each other in a safe but cozy environment? Are you full of ideas about what can be organized in Maastricht? Do you want to influence the LGBTI/queer policy in Maastricht? For the new academic year 2023-2024, we are looking for an enthusiastic volunteer coordinator for the Dionyx student group!
What does your evening as a coordinator look like?
It’s Thursday evening, you are present in Café Rosé. Together with other volunteers, you came up with the idea to organise a pub quiz. Before the pub quiz starts you greet the visitors. You make sure that queer students feel safe but can also enjoy a fun evening. The bar is already quite full, and you instruct the volunteers to start the pub quiz. You have asked a volunteer to present it, but you as coordinator are also happy to do an introduction. Later in the evening, the pub quiz is over time for an after-drink. When Dionyx ends is up to you.
What is Dionyx?
Dionyx has been the place where queer students come together since 2016. A group of enthusiastic students who try to create a diverse and inclusive environment for students in Maastricht. Dionyx is supported by COC Limburg, the LGBTI and queer organization active in Maastricht since 1972.
