In the context of studying Geography, many people come together to learn, work, exchange ideas or have fun together. Whether in seminars, lectures, excursions, meetings or student council events – social power relations are at work in all gatherings, and these can manifest themselves in the crossing of personal borders, discrimination and (sexualized) violence.

As the Student Council, we take a clear stance against all forms of discrimination as part of our self-conception. This includes racist, anti-semitic, sexist, homophobic/inter/trans*/queerphobic, ableist and class-based discrimination.

In this context, awareness means that we collectively take responsibility for the spaces we create and share. We have set out how we do this in detail in our awareness concepts. In practice, we want to counteract social structures of violence and inequality by working in a preventative and supportive way for those affected. This also means that we want to continually reflect critically on our awareness work. We are therefore open to any feedback, suggestions and proposals for improvement.
