BrückenBauen gUG

BrückenBauen is a non-profit organization that has been committed to equal opportunities and diversity since 2016 and speaks out against discrimination. The main mission of the organization is to reduce prejudices through dialogue and education and to promote a tolerant, balanced, and value-free coexistence. BrückenBauen emphasizes the importance of intra-societal dialogue, especially between different social subgroups, to strengthen a pluralistic society.

• Workshops and Events: BrückenBauen offers a variety of workshops, events, and intercultural meetings focused on the topics of diversity, equal opportunities, and discrimination. A notable example is the workshop format "AugenBLICK mal!", which uses Virtual Reality (VR) glasses to provide the opportunity to reflect on one's behavior in discriminatory situations and to better understand racist dynamics[1][2].
• Diversity Moderators: People from societal minority groups are trained as diversity moderators at BrückenBauen. These moderators convey diversity topics based on their personal experiences and expert knowledge, making the projects authentic and effective[1].
• Interactive Exhibitions: The project "Land der Kulturen" is an interactive exhibition created by refugees that allows for a change of perspective. This exhibition helps to better understand the experiences and perspectives of refugees[3].

• Anti-Discrimination Work: BrückenBauen is actively engaged in anti-discrimination work and supports affected individuals through innovative learning methods such as the blended learning concept of "AugenBLICK mal!". This concept can be applied in various contexts such as schools, organizations, administration, and companies[2].
• Promotion of Participation and Empowerment: Through the work of BrückenBauen, dialogue, empowerment, and participation of diverse individuals are promoted. This is achieved through a network of cultural institutions, cultural moderators, cultural associations, and sponsors[2].
• Funding and Support: BrückenBauen is primarily funded through donations and public grants. The organization relies on the support of donors to continue its projects, such as "Police and Refugees in Dialogue"[1].
