We organize the Lüneburg Weeks against Racism
“As the initiator of the LWgR, I have been involved as part of the planning group since 2015. It is very important to me to actively set a clear signal against racism and to encourage people to address the issue with a diversity-oriented and anti-discriminatory attitude. I am committed to this professionally, voluntarily and privately.”

‘We have been working with a team from mosaique at LWgR for several years. For about 10 years, I have also been involved in various initiatives, alliances and networks that promote peaceful coexistence, acceptance of diversity and oppose exclusion, hatred and incitement. My wish is to make LWgR more visible, audible and tangible in the district.’

„I have been part of the LWgR since 2015 and have also been involved in the planning group since 2016. I not only deal with the topic of racism in my own learning process as an educator, but also try to counteract everyday racism in my everyday life and through my work with Aufstehen-gegen-Rassismus.“

“Racism affects us all. How a society deals with racism and

never be negotiable. I have been part of the planning group since 2019 and

society that is critical of discrimination and racism as well as respectful coexistence.’
“As head of the model project ‘Competence Center against Antiziganism (KogA)’ of the Lower Saxony Memorial Foundation, it was and is important to me to also address racism and discrimination against Roma and Sinti within the framework of the LWgR. That’s why I’ve been involved since 2016 with my own offers and since 2017 through my work in the planning group.”
Bernd Grafe-Ulke
“In my view, viewing racism not as an individual moral failing, but as a structure and practice of devaluation, exclusion and infantilisation that are closely linked to economic conditions and nationalist projects, forms an important theoretical foundation for understanding racism. Through its projects, training programmes and networking initiatives, the LWgR continually translates these theoretical considerations into practical action in order to effectively combat racism. I would like to play a part in this integration of theory and practice and support the further development of the LWgR.”
