Diversity Month May
May is Diversity Month at TU Dortmund University! Around the German Diversity Day on 23.5. we have put together a program of events that take place on campus and deal with different aspects of diversity. These include, for example, lectures, exhibitions and exchange rounds that deal with topics such as gender diversity, interculturality, inclusion and accessibility.
The goal of Diversity Month is to make visible the work of many actors* at TU Dortmund University who create awareness for the importance of diversity and inclusion in the academic world. Together, we want to promote an open and respectful atmosphere where everyone is welcome.
Would you like to add an event? Then feel free to contact Elisabeth Brenker!

EF50, Foyer: Exhibition "WE ARE PART OF CULTURE"
WE ARE PART OF CULTURE (WAPOC) is an art exhibition, conceived by the project 100% Mensch. It shows queer personalities from antiquity to the present day, who have had a lasting impact on European society and our culture. The portraits of the personalities were created by nationally and internationally known artists* especially for WAPOC. The exhibition promotes diversity, respect and acceptance. It creates role models and identification figures, and shows: lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, inter* and queer people have always played a decisive role in shaping our society.
The exhibition WE AREPART OF CULTURE was funded 2017 - 2019 by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth as part of the federal program "Democracy Live!" and the Federal Agency for Civic Education.

The company health management and the university sports department of TU Dortmund University are planning a day of action around the topics of health and action. The annual campus run will take place in the afternoon.
Further information will follow.
At the Parents' Café at TU Dortmund University, parents who study here with a child, parents who work here with a child, and those who want to become parents meet for a joint exchange. Fathers and mothers meet in a relaxed atmosphere and talk about questions regarding childcare, financing options or give each other tips on how to reconcile family life with studies, research or work.
Children are welcome to attend, and play facilities are provided.
Books keep us in suspense, they move us to tears, make us laugh and give us comfort. They are a mirror of our reality - queer people exist and should therefore also find themselves in stories. But what makes a book queer in the first place?
That's what we'll talk about in this Lunch Talk with queer author, blogger, and sensitivity reader Marius Schaefers. There will also be lots of queer book tips and plenty of space to talk about them, ask questions - or just listen.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
