Racism in the context of higher education institutions is an often overlooked reality for many university members.
In order to raise awareness of this issue and initiate change for a solidary higher education community, students from the Bachelor of Arts in Social Work degree program have collected and summarized information. The result is the brochure linked below. This is aimed at all members of the higher education institution with potential courses of action and strategies for raising awareness.

To download: Feel free to share the German brochure "Gemeinsam gegen Rassismus" or the English brochure "Standing together against racism" with friends, students, colleagues or other members of the higher education institution so that it reaches as many people as possible.

On the topic of "Unconscious Bias - Recognizing and Reducing Prejudices and Stereotypes", the Zentrale Fortbildung Hessen offers a 50-minute online training course via its e-learning platform that explains the mechanisms of "unconscious bias".

Becoming aware of such prejudices and actively counteracting them is important for diverse and inclusive cooperation in everyday academic appointments. The offer is available to all interested parties.

For managers, completion of this training counts towards their training obligation. Please send the certificate of attendance by email to Human Resources Development.
