Laurens: “Stories that Move was the start of my international LGBTQ(IA+) ambassador work. I absolutely loved the first Stories that Move youth conference in 2013. I met a lot of inspiring people. Everyone was open towards different views on the world without judging; willing to talk to each other and to learn. I felt safe to be myself, share my personal stories and learn from the stories of others. Participating had a great positive effect on my personal development.”
