“Antirass” raises awareness through lectures and workshops, focusing primarily on the topics of right-wing extremism, racism, and anti-Semitism.
self-understanding
Racism, Antisemitism and other forms of discrimination are omnipresent and don’t stop at campus boundaries. We want to educate people about racism, fascism and antisemitism, as well as their impact on all our lives, and show ways in which we can take action against them. We have all grown up in a society where patterns of oppression prevail and are therefore not free from them, even if we are aware of them. Antifascism is a social virtue and necessary to protect ourselves and others from attacks, while at the same time creating a more liveable world for EVERYONE.
Specifically, we organise lectures and workshops to educate and raise awareness on a wide range of topics. We also offer a point of contact for students affected by racism and a platform for sharing experiences of discrimination. Furthermore we maintain an extensive library on the topics of right-wing extremism, political theory, antisemitism and islamism, which is available to all students.
Our goal is to make antifascism more visible on campus and to also reach out to students who are not in the left-wing bubble, offering them the opportunity to engage with the issue together with us. We warmly invite you to join us. Together, we want to take a stand against the shift to the right and for an era of peace and harmony.
We are always happy to receive suggestions or helping hands, so don’t hesitate to get in touch! Hope to see you soon at one of our events 🙂
