Raising awareness
Allyship and solidarity with people who experience racism is important! If you want to actively do something, you can find the right support here. Of course, it is also important to first become aware of one's own privileges. Because before we can unlearn and change certain racist ways of thinking and actions, they must first be recognised.
Here you will find tools to help understand how racism functions as a power system, how privilege and discrimination are structurally connected and why we unintentionally think racist, behave racist and profit from this system.
Reflective questions
Prejudice, yes! But racist? Not me!
Our 20 questions (currently in German only) help to develop a first feeling for one's own affectedness and that of others. The questions are meant to make everyday racism visible and to recognise one's own positioning and privileges. What is my own positioning in the context of racist discrimination? What position in the company, what impact power and privileges do I have?

Racism: (Not) a Reality?
Together, our four guests Melina Borcak (journalist), Ute Nkatha Hermann (student), Frank Joung (podcaster) and Dr. Cihan Sinanoglu (scientist) talk about their experiences and views on the topic of (anti-)racism in the work context. What is racism? Where does it come from? How does it manifest itself in the world of work? And above all: What can we do against it?
Perception check
