Eindrücke von der Podiumsdiskussion zum Fokus Medien
Eröffnet wurde die Podiumsdiskussion mit eindringlichen Plädoyers der Gäste. Die Journalistin Nalan Sipar sagte: "Wir müssen über Rassismus in den deutschen Medienhäusern sprechen." Und berichtete von einer ganzen Reihe von Diskriminierungserfahrungen in ihrer Laufbahn im öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk.
Medienhäuser sollten "ihre kolonialen Strukturen hinterfragen", fordert der Influencer Stève Hiobi, der erfolgreich eigene Channels betreibt und auch für den SWR aktiv ist.
Elena Kountidou, die Geschäftsführerin der neuen deutschen medienmacher*innen: “Journalismus muss für alle da sein, sonst verliert er an Glaubwürdigkeit und Vertrauen.”
Digital zugeschaltet zur Podiumsdiskussion war die WDR-Journalistin Isabel Schayani. Ihr Statement: "So wie man lernt, dass die deutsche Bevölkerung nicht mehr die von 1960 ist, so müssen wir Medien verstehen, dass wir uns weiter entwickeln müssen, damit wir die Menschen, die in diesem Land zusammen leben, erreichen."

Impressions from the panel discussion with focus on the welfare sector
Powersharing in the field of welfare - on the podium at the Robert Bosch Stiftung: Jawahir Cumar from "stop mutilation Deutschland e.V.". She says: "Power sharing is important to ensure that all people have the same opportunities and possibilities, regardless of their gender or background. We should recognize and respect the diversity of life paths in order to promote inclusive and equitable coexistence."
Michael Groß, President of the Federal Association of Welfare Services in Germany, was also among the panel guests. His statement: "It is indisputable that there has not yet been equal representation of migrant organizations in the welfare sector. It should be our concern to bring them to the table on an equal footing."
Dr. Delal Atmaca from the umbrella organization of migrant organizations in Germany emphasized: "With a view to real participation and equal opportunities for ALL in society, there is not only a need for effective anti-discrimination and empowerment of marginalized groups, but also more power sharing. Solidarity starts with sharing privileges!"
