German Diversity Day 2023 at Paderborn University

This year, the Central Equal Opportunities Officer and the Consultant for Diversity at Paderborn University organised a day of action to mark the nationwide Diversity Day on Monday, the 22th of May to make their commitment to a university that is fair to diversity visible. To this end, they invited all university members to an exchange on various aspects of diversity in the library foyer.

At the heart of the day of action were four information stands, where numerous interviewees reported on their everyday work in the field of advising and research, thus demonstrating the range of existing diversity initiatives at Paderborn University.

Celebrating diversity together with the Charta der Vielfalt

For 11 years now, the Charta der Vielfalt has been calling on companies, organisations and educational institutions to participate in the annual day of action on "German Diversity Day". As a signatory of the Charta der Vielfalt, it is particularly important for Paderborn University to follow this call and so it was able to demonstrate its commitment to diversity issues on campus once again with an action stand in the library foyer on the 22th of May.

Together with more than 830 organisations , it registered one of a total of over 2,600 actions for #DDT23 and thus once again showed #FlagForDiversity. In addition to a diversity quiz, in which all interested parties could test their knowledge of diversity topics, the discussion partners invited to the day of action from various university-wide institutions and initiatives in the field of diversity were a particular factor for success: At four action stands, they provided information about their diversity-related activities, reported on their everyday work and research, and thus presented the range of existing diversity structures on the Paderborn campus.

Further information on the Paderborn Day of Action can also be found on the Charta der Vielfalt action map. You can also find interesting information under the hashtag #DDT23 and on the homepage of the Charta der Vielfalt.
