Technische Universit\u00e4t Braunschweig set an example for diversity, anti-discrimination and equality on 26 June 2023 with the second Tag der Vielfalt (Diversity Day). On the colourfully decorated University Square, the numerous visitors exchanged ideas at talks, workshops and regional initiatives’ information stands and celebrated accompanied by live music. And of course there was also the raising of the rainbow flags, which has already become a tradition at the university.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Setting an example together!<\/h3>\n

The event kicked off with speeches by TU President Angela Ittel, Jana Szeimies, advisor to the Diversity Coordination Office, and representatives of the LGBTIAQ*@TU networks for students and staff<\/a>. In their speeches, they particularly addressed the importance of diversity in society and academia and criticised barriers that still prevail. “It is important to reflect the diversity of our society at the university, to ensure equal opportunities and to make diversity visible,” said TU President Angela Ittel in her opening speech. Jana Szeimies spoke about anti-discrimination, injustice and the fact that different groups are still exposed to violence: “We have to tackle these problems and we have to do it together. Because being able to study, work, teach and work in a community that is tolerant and safe – we all benefit from that.” Kenny Bundschuh, Johannes H\u00f6ing and Marian Baden, as representatives of the LGBTIAQ* networks, put the struggle for equality and acceptance at the centre of their speeches. With reference to the riots on Christopher Street Days last year, they made it clear: “There is still a lot we can do individually and together.”<\/p>\n

Three updated rainbow flags<\/h3>\n

After the opening speeches, the speakers traditionally raised three rainbow flags on campus. Since 2022, the Progress flag by non-binary graphic designer Daniel Quasar has permanently flown over University Square. [1]<\/a> This year, the updated Progress Flag by intersex activist Valentino Vecchietti replaced the Progress Flag designed in 2017. Vecchietti added a yellow triangle with a purple circle to the flag to include intersex people and its community and rights.[2]<\/a><\/p>\n
