Online course "Diversity Competences" (3 CPs)
We are happy to inform you that the Diversity Management became part of the Department of Equal Opportunity and Anti-Discrimination. All three key subjects – anti-discrimination, diversity and gender justice are now combined in one department.
New at the University of Bremen:
The video-based online course "Diversity Competences" aims to sensitise students of all disciplines to social dimensions of inequality, power and discrimination. In 13 chapters (with 2-3 episodes each) on various aspects of diversity (including gender, social origin, ethnicity and "race"), a total of 26 renowned academics discuss the topic from different research perspectives.
The event is part of the General Studies programme of the University of Bremen and was designed as an online-only format. In order to receive credit points (3CPs), students complete the course with an electronic exam in the test centre of the University of Bremen. The course is aimed at all students who wish to acquire knowledge and competences appropriate to their individual and heterogeneous learning requirements; however, it is also open to all other interested parties.
The event is bilingual (German/English) and as barrier-free as possible (sign language).

Digital Accessibility in Teaching & Learning
In general, providing digital teaching is – not just in times during the corona pandemic – a valuable format for diverse, inclusive teaching. Particularly students with special needs can benefit from digital teaching. However, it also poses certain challenges for this target group, which is why we ask you, as teaching staff, to ensure the accessibility of digital teaching, even in this particular situation, despite the high level of stress that you all might be experiencing now. In the following, we are particularly concerned with accessibility for students with hearing or visual impairments, but also, for example, for students with limited mobility (especially with regards to taking notes), impairments due to ADHD, dyslexia, mental illness, or impairments due to medication.
