Gesicht Zeigen!

Gesicht Zeigen For an Open-Minded Germany e.V. is a German association, founded in August 2000 by Uwe-Karsten Heye, Paul Spiegel, and Michel Friedman. The association is dedicated to the fight against right-wing extremism, racism, anti-Semitism, and any form of discrimination.

The main mission of Gesicht Zeigen is to strengthen a tolerant and discrimination-free social coexistence. The association aims to protect human and minority rights and promote an open-minded attitude towards right-wing extremist views, xenophobia, and racism. The values of the association include respect, tolerance, freedom, democracy, and cultural diversity[1][2][4].

• Awareness and Project Work: The association develops and supports projects that reduce prejudices and promote coexistence in the immigration society.
• Public Campaigns: Gesicht Zeigen initiates public campaigns for civil courage, supported by numerous celebrities.
• Workshops and Training: The association offers workshops and training to raise awareness and empower companies and individuals to engage against right-wing extremism and anti-democratic sentiments[2][3][4].
• Consultation and Support: Gesicht Zeigen advises companies of all sizes and industries on taking on their democratic responsibilities and offers individual strategies for awareness and prevention[3].

• Promotion of Democracy: The association works to bring together business, politics, and civil society to strengthen democratic society. The project "United!" focuses on the responsibility of companies in the fight against right-wing extremism and anti-democratic sentiments[3].
• Research and Studies: Gesicht Zeigen conducts studies, such as the study "Racism in the Context of Economy and Work," to highlight problem situations and options for action[3].
• Public Thematization: The association makes group-related hostility visible through public thematization to raise awareness of injustices and influence political and social debates[1].

Gesicht Zeigen is funded through donations, membership fees, and public grants. The extensive work of the association is only possible through the support of numerous sponsors and the commitment of many people who engage spontaneously and voluntarily[2].

With its comprehensive work and diverse initiatives, Gesicht Zeigen is committed to a sustainable, tolerant, and open society and actively promotes the strengthening of civil society.
