Active Citizenship

Immigration Society

How can we ensure the positive coexistence of native and migrant residents in society and promote the inclusion of the latter?

The Situation

Germany is a country shaped also by people with a migrant background and with increasing cultural and religious diversity. But this diversity is not adequately reflected in our social structures; participation does not exist for all. Seeing people as different and not understanding their values leads to conflict and weakens social cohesion. The rhetoric in political and media debate is heating up and reinforces polarization.

The Goal

Living together in a society shaped by diversity and inclusion calls for respectful cohesion and cooperation, taking into account different needs and potentials. Everyone, regardless of their origin, religious and cultural background, or external appearance, is equally entitled to participate in our society – a cohesive society which is free of discrimination.
