Aktionswochen gegen Rassismus im Kreis Paderborn 2025

In the organizer's words:

"Protect human dignity"

As in previous years, the DemokratieBüro "Vielfalt lieben" is organizing the Action Weeks against Racism 2025 in the district of Paderborn in cooperation with the ADA - Servicestelle Antidiskriminierungsarbeit im Caritasverband Paderborn e.V.

Initiatives and organizations from all over the district are taking part with a variety of campaigns and events. The aim of the action weeks is to draw attention to the challenges of racism and group-focused misanthropy and to highlight possible courses of action against discrimination. In this way, the important commitment of many actors to respect and human dignity is promoted and made even more visible. We have also made a conscious decision to use many different venues.

A big THANK YOU goes to all our cooperation partners, speakers and organizers: Without you, the action weeks would not have been possible! We look forward to meeting you at the events!
