Lwd Amsterdam

LWD is a global non-profit initiative with chapters in 280 cities worldwide. LWD was founded in 2015 by Jessica Walsh. Only.1% of creative agencies are founded by women & non-binary people, and the numbers are even smaller for women/non-binary BIPOC. Our mission is to see more diversity in the creative industry, especially within leadership roles. LWD takes an intersectional approach to this work. Our Amsterdam chapter began about 4 years ago and has been growing more and more as a community each and every day. In more normal times, we aim to get together through events including creative workshops, speakers’ events and meet ups. We’ve hosted everything from more cosy drawing nights and workshops to 100+ guest speaker events in collaboration with creative agencies and brands.*Our meetings should be inclusive and supportive spaces for all women (trans, intersex and cis) and all nonbinary, agender and gender variant people. Self-definition is at the sole discretion of that individual. If you are here it is because you feel that you are included by our gender inclusion policy, and therefore you are welcome. Our meetings and spaces are not open to people who identify solely or primarily as men. If you have any queries regarding our gender inclusion policy, please don’t hesitate to ask questions.
