Greifswald has been subject to an increasing number of racist attacks on international students, academics, and colleagues. In light of these developments, a broad alliance of institutions and organisations have come together to initiate a large-scale campaign to promote a democratic and respectful co-existence.

Together with its partners, the University of Greifswald would like to underline its solidarity with those affected and reaffirm its determination to counteract this extremely worrying and sad development.

The kick-off event will take place as part of a protest march on 13 January 2024. Further details will be announced nearer the event. We invite all citizens of Greifswald to set a clear and visible sign against racism.
