Integration and cultural diversity; focus on racism - Anti-discrimination policy in institutions

Workshop "Anti-discrimination policy in institutions - guidelines, advice and more" It is important for institutions that want to establish an anti-discrimination policy to establish several building blocks of anti-discrimination work in parallel. First, discrimination risks in the institution must be identified, e.g. through surveys or status quo analyses. Based on the findings, guidelines or a code of conduct to combat discrimination could be developed and adopted for the institution. Similarly, contact persons and low-threshold counselling and complaints offices should be established and made known within the institution. Continuous information about the counselling and complaints offices is then important in the central communication channels of the institution so that the existence of these offices is not forgotten. This should be supported by the institution's management by offering training on prevention as well as support for empowerment and networking. In addition, it is necessary to address those people who might be affected by discrimination by informing them about the newly established structures. For those people who think that the issue of racism does not concern them, factual arguments are needed to explain to them why the issue of racism is also relevant to them.
