SCHOOL WITHOUT RACISM

Project initiator:

Ungehörig. Sozialwerk für hörgeschädigte Kinder und Jugendliche Freiburg e. V.

“Ungehörig” is the support association of the BBZ Stegen – a supra-regional special needs education and counselling centre specialising in the special needs area of “hearing”.

The support association is committed to children and young people with a hearing impairment and supports them – regardless of whether the children and young people attend the BBZ Stegen or are looked after by the school’s special education service and attend general schools.

Project description:

Since March 2016, BBZ Stegen has been a member of the network “School without Racism – School with Courage” and, as a so-called “Courage School”, organises annual action days with workshops on the topics of discrimination, civil courage, democracy, diversity and variety.

“School without Racism – School with Courage” (www.schule-ohne-rassismus.org) is the largest school network in Germany – over 3,000 schools actively participate. Teachers and pupils of the “Courage Schools” commit themselves to the commitment against any form of discrimination against people on the basis of faith, skin colour, origin, gender and sexual orientation.

Project aims:

Everyday school life should change in such a way that it is characterised by a climate of mutual respect and recognition of individual characteristics – combined with a common search for binding norms.

Project location:

Stegen, Baden-Württemberg

Project start:

March 2020
