Racism announces the struggle: all information about the action weeks!

As part of the coming international weeks against racism, which will take place from March 17 to 30, 2025, District Administrator Michael Stakeln emphasizes the fundamental importance of the Basic Law: "Human dignity is inviolable". This quote forms the core of the action weeks, the aim of which is to set a strong sign of diversity and tolerance and to speak decisively against racism and xenophobia. In this context, the district home nurse Hans-Werner Gorzolka was appointed ambassador for the campaign weeks. He has been involved in this function since 2015 and is also active on the cultural advisory board and in the Catholic Church.

Gorzolka is very committed to the goal of the weeks. The district director Manuela Kupsch praises his commitment to Integration and cooperation. Mayor Daniel Hartmann expresses his anticipation for the large number of planned events that will address a wide audience.
