Working group »Respekt«

The working group »Respekt!« (respect) was established in 2018 as an initiative of students and colleagues from teaching and administration, supported by the University Administration, with the aim of raising awareness of the issues of discrimination, abuse of power and sexualised violence at University of Music and Theatre, establishing education, prevention and discussion opportunities and promoting open dialogue within our university.
