Video: Riem Spielhaus on cultural diversity in schoolbooks

Cultural diversity is a reality in Germany. But is this fact also reflected in German schoolbooks? Professor Riem Spielhaus of the Georg Eckert Institute in Braunschweig comments on how diversity is being dealt with in German classrooms today.

What are the factors contributing to success in living diversity? What challenges does diversity pose for society, and how can we meet these challenges?

Our Living Diversity - Shaping Society project takes a close look at the reality of diversity in today's German society and asks how we can develop effective approaches to living together in cultural diversity that target social inclusion and allow everyone the opportunity to participate in all aspects of society.

The interview with Riem Spielhaus was held during our expert workshop in Berlin in preparation for the launch of the Reinhard Mohn Prize 2018 research. Videos of further interviews with experts will be posted here soon.
