15 pro­po­si­ti­ons on “Cohe­sion in Diversity”

The “Cul­tu­ral Inte­gra­tion Initia­tive” (Initia­tive kul­tu­relle Inte­gra­tion) looks at the con­tri­bu­tion that cul­ture can pro­vide to pro­mote inte­gra­tion – the inte­gra­tion of the peo­ple who come to Ger­many as well as those who are alre­ady living in Ger­many. Under the auspi­ces of the „Ger­man Cul­tu­ral Coun­cil“ (Deut­scher Kul­tur­rat) and in con­junc­tion with 23 large civil society orga­ni­sa­ti­ons, churches and reli­gious com­mu­ni­ties, media, social part­ners, fede­ral sta­tes and com­mu­nal umbrella asso­cia­ti­ons, the five initia­tors of the “Cul­tu­ral Inte­gra­tion Initia­tive” have for­mu­la­ted 15 pro­po­si­ti­ons on cul­tu­ral inte­gra­tion and cohesion.

With the help of these 15 pro­po­si­ti­ons, the non-par­ti­san initia­tive wants to demons­trate how a suc­cessful society can be both diverse and cohe­sive at the same time. The pur­pose of these pro­po­si­ti­ons is to encou­rage peo­ple talk to one ano­ther, to create encoun­ters and to reduce pre­ju­dice.  It is all about social cohe­sion for all the peo­ple living in Germany.
