"When diversity wins, Germany wins" – Diversity Day 2025
Excellent universities need diverse perspectives
Constantly setting an example for diversity and equal opportunities is more important than ever, as the social and political situation remains challenging. Social background, disability, race, sexual orientation or gender are still and increasingly becoming reasons why people are marginalised and belittled. People who campaign against discrimination and misanthropy and in favour of more democracy and togetherness must also expect resistance and are even scrutinised by politicians.
These developments are not compatible with the values of an open-minded university that stands for educational equality and equal opportunities. Excellent education, research and science need diverse perspectives! As a university, we bear responsibility for social coexistence - and we take this seriously. That is why we support this year's motto of the Diversity Charter: "When diversity wins, Germany wins".
Our Programme
22-28 May: Diversity Days at Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences
The Diversity Days at HHN are intended to be fun, thought-provoking and, above all, to show that diversity means us all: Diversity means all of us! That's why we travelled to all of the university's campuses for the first time in 2025. We started on 22 May at the Künzelsau and Schwäbisch Hall campuses, followed by two further days of action at the Bildungscampus and TechCampus on 27 and 28 May. Online offers complemented this programme.
We are delighted that, in addition to our external partners such as LIV, mentoring programme WoMent, Arbeiterkind etc., the International Office of HHN also took part with a hands-on station.
Everyone who took part in our hands-on activities had the chance to win great prizes.
The winners were notified by email by the department.
