For this year’s IDAHOBIT, the City of Bern teamed up with local sports clubs and trainers to offer introductory training sessions for queer people and allies. The aim was to create a safe and welcoming space where participants could explore new sports in a queer-friendly environment alongside other community members.

In the afternoon, the annual Rainbow Cities photo exhibition was officially opened by the mayor. The day concluded with drinks and snacks, giving sports instructors and participants a chance to connect, reflect on their experiences, and engage in conversation.
