Keynote presentation and discussion

The rise in far-right and racist violence in the 1990s, including the attacks in Hoyerswerda, Rostock-Lichtenhagen, Mölln and Solingen, provided the backdrop for the founding of the association ‘Eine Welt der Vielfalt e.V.’ in 1996.


The training and deployment of anti-discrimination trainers was intended to counteract this trend.


With the introduction of the human rights-based programme by EINE WELT DER VIELFALT, all grounds for discrimination were, for the first time in Germany, regarded as equal and interrelated, with the aim of promoting broad-based solidarity.


To mark the organisation’s anniversary, we look back on 30 years of human rights and anti-discrimination work: how has the socio-political situation changed over the course of these years? What has been achieved? Where have there been setbacks and deteriorations? And finally: how can the various social actors be mobilised on a broad scale to safeguard and build upon these achievements, and to effectively counter the growing threats to many social groups and the erosion of human rights?
