The event took place together with the new president of the TU Braunschweig, Professor Angela Ittel, as well as representatives of the Homosexuals University Group, the Women-Lesbian-Office, the Women&#8217;s Library, LGBTIQ*@TU and the Coordination Office Diversity.<\/p>\n<p>The rainbow is the symbol of the LGBTIQ community and with its variety of colors embodies a colorful society of acceptance, tolerance and diversity. The acronym stands for the English terms lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transsexuals, intersexuals and queers. Since July 15, 2021, the rainbow flag has been waving over the Universit\u00e4tsplatz for the fourth time.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44096\" style=\"width: 860px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44096\" class=\"wp-image-44096 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/magazin.tu-braunschweig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/TUBS_2107_FUH_Regenbogenfahne_03_1500-850x567.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-44096\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Professor Angela Ittel, President of TU Braunschweig, gives a speech on the occasion of the raising of the rainbow flag.

Acceptance, diversity, anti-discrimination and openness are particularly important topics for me, from which we can all benefit! Both here at the university and in society in general, these are very essential values that make us strong and special. Only by trying to take different perspectives into account do we continue to develop and expand our thoughts. Only in this way can we raise our teaching, our administration and our research to a whole new level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A sign that brings people together<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to various speeches, the event included a hands-on activity: equipped with colorful chalk, participants drew a rainbow on the ground of the Universit\u00e4tsplatz. An opportunity that was gladly and much used. &#8220;It&#8217;s great to see how many people have come, to show solidarity and to set a sign together,&#8221; says Anouk Almstedt, officer of the Diversity Coordination Office at TU Braunschweig. In addition to colorful fingers and floors, there were also seed bags that, once fully blossomed, also stand for diversity in the form of colorful flowers.<\/p>\n<h3>A look into the future<\/h3>\n<p>There is more to come! Ideas for next year are already being collected: &#8220;This time we were limited in our options due to the current situation. In 2022, we want to enlarge the event and ensure with different stands, a lot of fun and diversity that this important topic is not forgotten,&#8221; reports Thomas K\u00fctz from the Homosexuals University Group (HUBS).<\/p>\n<div id=\"new-royalslider-269\" class=\"royalSlider new-royalslider-269 rsDefaultInv rsContentSlider\" style=\"width:100%;height:500px;;\" data-rs-options='{&quot;template&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;image_generation&quot;:{&quot;imageWidth&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageHeight&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;thumbImageWidth&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;thumbImageHeight&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;thumbs&quot;:{&quot;thumbWidth&quot;:96,&quot;thumbHeight&quot;:72},&quot;video&quot;:[],&quot;block&quot;:{&quot;moveOffset&quot;:20,&quot;speed&quot;:400,&quot;delay&quot;:200},&quot;width&quot;:&quot;100%&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:500,&quot;autoHeight&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;imageScaleMode&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;imageAlignCenter&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;controlNavigation&quot;:&quot;tabs&quot;,&quot;globalCaptionInside&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;keyboardNavEnabled&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;fadeinLoadedSlide&quot;:&quot;false&quot;}'>\n<div class=\"rsSlideRoot\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rsImg\" src=\"https:\/\/magazin.tu-braunschweig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/TUBS_2107_ROT_Regenbogenfahne_02_1500-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n  <div class=\"rsTmb\"><\/div>\n  \n  <h3><\/h3>\n  <p>The rainbow flag centrally located between the flags of the university.
