"Vielfalt entscheidet - Diversity in Leadership" collected anti-discrimination and equality data in Berlin cultural institutions for Diversity Arts Culture. A plea for data-based diversity development as a starting point for structural change. Pages 8-11 of the Diversity Arts Culture brochure.

The Berlin project office for diversity development Diversity Arts Culture (DAC) has commissioned our team to conduct basic research in Berlin cultural institutions in order to set up their own work in a data-based manner. Three institutions participated in the survey in 2019 - the Staatsballett, the Berlinische Galerie, and the Berlin Wall Foundation.

In WZB Mitteilungen 169, Joshua Kwesi Aikins, Daniel Gyamerah, Josefine Matysiak, and Anne Piezunka take a look at empirical research on Black people in Germany and use the example of the Afro Census to show potential for future research projects. Summary: So far, debates on anti-Black racism in Germany have been conducted without large-N quantitative empirical findings. As a result, there is a lack of quantitative data on the experiences of discrimination and the realities of life of black people in Germany. Using the example of the recently concluded Afrozensus, the requirements for anti-racist empirical social research are discussed.

Given Berlin’s image as a cultural hub, the experiences of the groups of people excluded from the city’s very own cultural sector provide key insights: How is diversity faring in this key industry? What are the barriers that prevent the art sector from being as diverse as the society reflected in the streets of Berlin? What creative solutions do people find who have become non-visitors and non-actors, often against their will? To explore these and other questions, the authors invited people with diverse experiences and interviewed them in four focus group.

What data do we need to measure equality, participation and discrimination? What can be achieved with anti-discrimination and equality data? How can anti-discrimination and equality data be collected in practice in a precise and non-discriminatory way? On 11.09.2019, the Department for Democracy of the City of Munich held a specialist discussion on the topic of "Anti-discrimination and equality data". A documentation of the central theses of the experts can be found in this publication.

These are our 10 theses for the necessary further development of the Berlin Participation and Integration Act towards a real equality law against racial discrimination and for empowerment

The European project CHIEF builds a dialogue between young people, researchers, education practitioners, policymakers, community leaders and civil society activists in order to facilitate a future of Europe based on more inclusive notions of cultural heritage and cultural identity. This handbook presents a methodological model of effective communication between these various stakeholders and guides the CHIEF-teams in initiating, planning and implementing a Multi-Stakeholder Partnership (MSP) at the local, regional or national level. It provides methods, tools and resources to allow for an inclusive and participative multi-sectoral collaboration.
