Souverän statt schreckhaft: Richtig reagieren im Fall von Rassismus-Beschwerden (DE / DGS, if needed) – on-site

Nobody wants racism in the office. Of course. But sometimes it does happen –
someone complains to HR or their superiors about a racist incident in the company. How can bosses and HR check the accusation? How to react appropriately? Short term? Medium term? And in the long run? The practice-oriented breakout session provides guidance. It is aimed in particular at people who are currently or will be in management positions. The breakout session is also suitable for HR employees and other internal multipliers such as AGG, equal opportunities and diversity officers, works councils and staff councils. No prior knowledge is required.

Hate Speech im Netz: Erfahrungen, Umgang & Lösungen (DE / DGS, if needed) – Hybrid

In this hybrid session, we want to talk about experiences with hate speech on queer topics and how to deal with it. Big companies in particular often generate shitstorms on social media through public events. AUDI AG and Deutsche Telekom are examples of this. How do we deal with this internally? How do we express our stance externally? What solutions are available? We will explore these exciting questions in an interactive session. The session is aimed at anyone who develops and communicates a stance on queer issues.

Ohne Demokratie keine Vielfalt: Wie sich Unternehmen gemeinsam mit Mitarbeitenden für Demokratie engagieren können. (DE / DGS, if needed) – on-site

Promoting democracy and diversity plays an important role in the workplace, where people come together every day in all their diversity. Strengthening people and the local economy are goals that Deutsche Bank pursues with its holistic approach to social engagement and the promotion of diversity, equal opportunities and participation. At a time when social challenges such as racism, populism, extremism and social inequality are becoming increasingly present, there is an urgent need for more dialog and encounters. In our workshop, you will gain an insight into how Deutsche Bank and its employees live and practically implement their social responsibility in Germany and worldwide. In addition, we want to talk to you about best practice of how companies, regardless of their size, employees, or position, can strengthen and help shape our democracy and cooperation.

“Our stories – sharing is caring“ – Ein Empowerment-Raum (DE / DGS, if needed) – on-site

Charlotte Wunn, 1st Chairperson of Intergeschlechtliche Menschen e.V. and Sy Legath, Project Lead at PROUT AT WORK, are opening a safer space and inviting participants to talk in small groups about personal experiences of discrimination within and outside their own communities. Open, approachable and without questioning lived experiences. In addition to providing an opportunity for exchange, the space is primarily intended to enable mutual empowerment and make solidarity tangible. It is explicitly aimed at people with multiple marginalization, inter*/trans* people and all those who have experienced discrimination in their own communities and/or want to sharpen their awareness of intersectional relationships in order to better combat discrimination in their companies.
