Ort der Vielfalt


Ort der Vielfalt is an initiative launched in 2007 by the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the Federal Government Commissioner for Migration, Refugees and Integration with the aim of strengthening the commitment of communities, towns and districts in Germany to cultural diversity. This initiative comes from the federal programmes Vielfalt tut gut. Jugend für Vielfalt, Toleranz und Demokratie and kompetent. für Demokratie – Beratungsnetzwerke gegen Rechtsextremismus. Since 1 January 2011, the Federal Programme Toleranz fördern – Kompetenz stärken has again been continuing the two federal programmes under one roof.
The initiative is supported by the federal states, the local umbrella organisations, business, trade unions and other organisations. Committed communities, towns and districts are awarded a "Place of Diversity" sign.
