The 18t h of November i s the I nternational day of LGBTQ+ people in STEM and Polar Pride Day i s an offshoot of this since the Polar Regions have such a strong focus for science, technology, engineering and maths. Polar Pride Day launched in 2020 with participation from 49 countries with over 2000 tweets, 35 news stories, and a global reach of over 12.8 million people! In 2021 we want to build on this success and take the Polar Pride message to an even bigger audience and we need your help to do it.
