Media campaign: Making diversity visible and audible
Over the coming weeks, we will shine a spotlight on the topic of diversity at the University of Bonn. On university platforms such as YouTube, Instagram and the university podcast ‘forsch gelesen’, you can expect inspiring videos and podcasts to pique your curiosity.
Did you know, for example, that our university has its own daycare centre? Or that we offer external racism-critical counselling to promote a discrimination-sensitive environment? We will also look at how we can rethink the concept of family and how University Sports supports students with disabilities.
You can expect fascinating insights on these and other topics! You can find all the videos and podcasts here on this page. To make sure you don't miss any highlights, we'll keep you up to date with regular Instagram stories!

Diversität sicht- und hörbar machen! | Stabsstelle Chancengerechtigkeit und Diversität an der Universität Bonn
In this video, you will learn about the different services offered at our University and get to know key stakeholders as well as supporters and experts from various disciplines. Did you know, for example, that the University of Bonn provides counseling regarding racism or that University Sports also offers courses for people with disabilities? We’ll also introduce tools that can be used for creating accessible video games or show a family set-up from a queer perspective.
Campaign Goals
We want to increase the visibility of the topic of equal opportunities and diversity and introduce the cooperation partners of the staff unit and the Vice-Rectorate. Only together can we make the University of Bonn a place where everyone feels valued - a place where we are sensitive to discrimination. We are therefore delighted to announce our media campaign, which has been made possible by funding from the German Rectors' Conference (HRK).
This campaign will not only present the work of the Equal Opportunitiy and Diversity Unit and the Vice-Rectorate, but will also focus on the topic of diversity at the University of Bonn. Our aim is to sensitise students, staff, lecturers and researchers alike to the topic of diversity and to highlight the variety of offers and research projects in this area.
Only together can we create a diversity-sensitive, open university culture. We therefore want to work together to create a university where everyone has even more opportunities.
We look forward to your support and feedback.
Your team from the Equal Opportunity and Diversity Unit and the Vice-Rectorate

Is it time to think about the idea of “family” in a different way? A podcast with Sascha Sistenich on family-friendliness and caregiving from the queer perspective.
Sascha Sistenich explores the queer perspective on caregiving in a much broader-than-usual way. Sascha sees his work as playing an important social role, viewing ‘caregiving’ as a societal core value. He discusses the role of caregiving in the lives of queer individuals, and why the same issues are relevant for non-queer people as well.
