Action day, panel discussion and theatre performance

"We want all members of the university to experience a climate of appreciation and belonging," emphasises Laura Maring, Diversity Officer at Paderborn University. To this end, she regularly organises events on campus together with various partners. As part of the "Coming Out Days", a day of action will take place in the university foyer on Tuesday, 2 December from 11 am to 2 pm. Various participatory formats and information offers will open up new perspectives on the topic of sexual and gender identity. In the evening, from 6 to 7.30 pm, there will be a panel discussion in the vaulted cellar (Marienplatz 18) on the topic of "LGBTQ* communities at universities - perspectives and challenges for an inclusive future". Prior registration is not necessary.

On Thursday, 11 December, the Studiobühne will present the play "Die Hamletmaschine" from 7.30 pm. The subsequent theatre discussion with the Central Equal Opportunities Officer, Dr. Annika Hegemann, and the head of the blick* regional office, Jana Hansjürgen, will focus on topics such as role stereotypes, emancipation and self-empowerment. Tickets are available from the University Service Centre or at the box office.
