For 13 years now, the Diversity Charter has been calling on companies, organisations and educational institutions to take part in the annual "German Diversity Day". Paderborn University is following the call and invites you to the foyer on Tuesday, 27 May under the motto "Your voice for diversity - diversity matters!". University members are encouraged to participate creatively and have various opportunities to set an example for diversity and against marginalisation. The event will take place from 11 am to 2 pm.

In addition to a diversity quiz, in which anyone interested can test their knowledge of diversity issues, various media and creative stations are planned, at which a sign for diversity and tolerance can be set in a variety of ways. For example, there will be a photo box, creative writing projects in cooperation with the Writing Competence Centre, a voice recorder for recording statements and an art station.

DIV DAY OWL will also take place at TH OWL in Detmold following the day of action at Paderborn University. Paderborn students and Dr Larissa Eikermann, Vice Dean for Sustainability, Equality and Diversity at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, will also be represented here and will celebrate Diversity Day in our region together with all universities from OWL with a variety of TED talks and (musical) contributions.

Further information on Diversity Day and the individual stands can be found on the event page.
