Against this background, the University of Kassel, the University of Osnabrück and the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen are investigating how democracy has changed in the course of the so-called "welcome culture" in the joint project "Welcome Culture and Democracy in Germany - Refugee Policy Initiatives as Places of Active Citizenship, Collective Conflict Negotiation and Democratic Learning".

The focus is on three research questions: Do refugee policy initiatives contribute to inclusive democratic decision-making and articulation through their internal social forms? How do democratic attitudes and political subjectivities develop or change in the actions of the initiatives? Do they provide a democratizing impulse for established decision-making structures?
