The coordination project in the DGB
The German Trade Union Confederation manages and coordinates the program in close cooperation with the BMAS. For this purpose, the coordination project was set up in the DGB Federal Executive Board, which is integrated into the Division for Democracy, Migration- and Antiracism- Policy.
The coordination project has the following basic objectives, which are explained in more detail below:
Networking
The coordination project organizes networking meetings twice a year as well as other exchange formats as needed. In addition, a digital networking platform is provided for the exchange of materials and an internal newsletter is established.
Knowledge transfer
The coordination project organizes trainings and project trainings that specifically educate the projects and support them in their work. Furthermore, various materials such as handouts and fact sheets are made available. In addition, program successes and results are evaluated and documented.
Public relations
The results of the project work as well as emerging best practice approaches are made accessible to a broader interested public and expert audience through various formats such as specialist events, publications and press work. The homepage provides information on the projects’ offerings and a newsletter reports on all program news.
Social media strategy
Through a targeted social media strategy, democratically minded colleagues and allies are strengthened and supported in the event of attacks, and racist and conspiracy ideological narratives are countered.
