CELEBRATE THE VISION - DIVERSITY AT THE HFMT
Concept presentation and performance on German Diversity Day 2024
Tuesday, 05/28/2024 17:00 HfMT, Forum

Last winter semester, we at the HfMT took an in-depth look at socio-political issues surrounding the topic of diversity. In various 'Study Weeks', we were able to learn, experience, understand, discuss and set ourselves the goal of making our university a more accessible place where discrimination has no place and where all people, without exception, live together in respectful coexistence.

On this evening, we will present the current status of our university's diversity management concept and combine it with various live acts, content-related interventions and performative interludes. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to celebrate, discuss and talk to each other in the foyer with music and drinks. The future is coming!

Diversity Study Weeks

Under the motto Diversity can Inspire, the HfMT is organizing the Diversity Study Weeks in the winter semester 2023/24. Together we celebrate diversity, because it is not just a buzzword, but the heart of our interaction and creative development at an artistic and academic university.

During the six Study Weeks, we will deal with the following topics: Inclusion, classism, proximity & distance, anti-discrimination and educational participation, coloniality and equality for women, inter-, trans- and non-binary people. To this end, we have organized panels, artistic events, lecture series, seminars and much more. These events enrich the range of courses on offer and are open not only to all students, but also to lecturers and staff at the university and, in some cases, external visitors. Come along!

Embedded in the Study Weeks is a lecture series on intersectional topics. Through an artistic-scientific approach, the lecture series aims to raise awareness of the diversity present at the HfMT in all its forms, as well as to identify gaps in diversity and investigate their causes.
