Project: Fundamentals for intersectional anti-racism mainstreaming (GIAM)

Project duration: March 2024 - March 2026

Funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Combating Racism

Diversity-oriented organisational development processes often still scratch the surface due to numerous technical hurdles. The translation of racism-critical, diversity-orientated measures into the everyday reality of institutions is therefore only partially successful. This is another reason why the representation and comprehensive participation of racially discriminated people has not yet been achieved.

Against this background, in the context of this project we are developing professional frameworks for anti-racism mainstreaming strategies in organisations and strengthening the expert discourse that is necessary for a professionalisation critical of racism in an immigration society. 

To this end

• we provide expert input in the field (e.g. on racism, anti-discrimination data, empowerment and leadership),
• we advise organisations and community actors (e.g. on data collection in the context of racism-critical organisational development),
• we conduct workshops (e.g. on the development of graphics for a standardised presentation/visualisation of (missing) representation),
• we implement a design workshop for the exchange of best practice examples for communicating experiences of discrimination
• we identify and clarify strategically relevant legal areas and issues for the equality of racially discriminated people
• we statistically define diversity clusters in order to record racially discriminated people and at least the discrimination characteristics protected by the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) in surveys and to be able to implement intersectional analyses.
