International Weeks Against Racism

The International Weeks against Racism 2022, initiated by the Foundation against Racism, will begin on March 14 under the motto "Showing Attitude". The city of Jena will also participate - together with local initiatives and actors - to set a clear sign against any form of exclusion and for tolerance, respect and human dignity.

A central event will take place on March 16 from 3 p.m. at the Flößerbrunnen, below the city balcony Winzerla. In addition to participatory activities, there will be actors on site who will present themselves with information booths. They include Streetwork Winzerla, Freizeitladen Winzerla, the Youth Migration Service of the AWO, the Local Partnership for Democracy Jena, Hugo Youth Center AWO, KoKont - coordination and contact point and the anti-discrimination office of the city of Jena - and others.

Since July 2021, the anti-discrimination office has been available as a contact point for people who have either become victims of discrimination themselves or want to confess incidents of discrimination. Incidents can also be reported online via the website: antidiskriminierung.jena.de.
