In Germany, as a modern, cosmopolitan country, people with different life plans, different backgrounds and different opinions meet. Society is characterized by great diversity. This diversity, which we see as an opportunity, is also represented at the THM - which we are very proud of. It is important to us to organize fair participation in all areas, to promote respectful exchange and to clearly oppose any discrimination.

Interpersonal conflicts are still unavoidable from time to time. In a pluralistic society, the existence of different values ​​harbors the potential for conflict. Due to ethnic origin, religious affiliation and/or external characteristics such as clothing and/or skin color, there may be difficulties in understanding and discrimination (disadvantage).

If you are affected by discrimination, do not hesitate and turn to the contact person who would like to advise and support you in resolving intercultural conflicts - for fair and equal cooperation at the THM .
The basis of BIKO's work is the anti-discrimination guideline of the THM (see announcement of July 19, 2019 / AMB 55/2019). The presidium contact persons are officially commissioned by the presidium and act within the framework of a presidium resolution.
