Awareness & action days
On this page you will find information on regular events as well as days of action and commemoration organized by the Office for Equal Opportunities - often in cooperation with partners from the university or the region. Our events invite you to get into conversation, find out more or discover new perspectives and thus provide impetus for awareness-raising, education, exchange and empowerment.
