Because Diversity Rocks - Weil Vielfalt fetzt
In November and December 2024, TH Wildau is dedicating a travelling exhibition and several events to the major topic of inclusion. Come and visit us!
German versionDiversity at TH Wildau
Shaping a future worth living - we can only do it together!
This is why TH Wildau is committed to diversity and has firmly anchored the promotion of a diversity-sensitive university culture in its strategic development. But diversity doesn't have to remain a big, abstract umbrella term! In winter 2024, one aspect of diversity will be made tangible and perceptible at the university: the topic of inclusion!
But what does inclusion actually mean? The website of the Federal Agency for Civic Education (Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung) states: "Inclusion is a goal that many people have for society. It means that all people should be accepted by society, with or without disabilities. People should be accepted for who they are, because differences are normal." Inclusive action aims to create structures in which everyone can participate in social life, regardless of any disabilities, chronic or mental illnesses. These can be measures as diverse as the use of plain language, the elimination of stairs when building or school classes in which children with and without disabilities learn together.
Travelling exhibition of the LAG Saxony at the TH Wildau
In November and December, the travelling exhibition Weil Vielfalt Fetzt (Because Diversity Rocks) will be shown at the university and can be visited individually and flexibly. The travelling exhibition was developed by the Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft Selbsthilfe Sachsen e.V. (LAG SH Sachsen) with funding from the Free State of Saxony and Aktion Mensch.
Here, people with visible and invisible disabilities or chronic illnesses have their say, as do relatives and those involved in inclusion. The exhibition highlights the diversity of inclusion and gives the topic a face - it's well worth a look!
All texts are available in standard and easy read German.
The barrier-free guidance system blindFind for blind and visually impaired people is integrated into the exhibition.
