Media and Glossaries

Fighting racism and discrimination and working for an open and tolerant society is a common task. In order to live up to this responsibility, we should sensitize ourselves and inform ourselves about the background. Below you will find various materials, from basic terms to in-depth analysis in documentaries and books. Our goal is to support people in dealing with and advocating against racism and discrimination. 

Glossaries

Language reflects our reality, so it is often assumed. But we overlook the fact that language itself is powerful and can influence the reality of our lives. It can hurt, fuel prejudice and reproduce patterns of oppression. Therefore, it is important to deal with language in order to classify and use terms correctly. Here are two glossaries on racism that can help you speak in a discrimination-sensitive way and alert others to problematic terms.
