Series of events: "Heimat, Volk, Scholle - Rechtsdruck im ländlichen Raum": "Active against the right - Stand up for an open society!"

Current social developments show that looking away and relativizing the problems of right-wing extremism is not an alternative. Anyone who wants an open and democratic society must stand up for it! Without a high level of civic engagement, misanthropic ideologies and
right-wing extremist ways of thinking will gain more and more ground. How can I counter the spread of right-wing extremism in my town, in my club, in my school or company
? Four initiatives that have taken decisive action against right-wing extremism in their region discuss the options for action!

• Bündnis gegen rechts Wendland/Altmark - The alliance was founded after confrontations with right-wing structures in the region in order to counter them.
• Dorf der Jugend - The Grimma-based association raises awareness of social problems and promotes values such as tolerance, civil courage and interpersonal skills.
• Birgit & Horst Lohmeyer - Jamel was deliberately colonized by neo-Nazis as a "model National Socialist village". The Lohmeyers have been organizing the "Jameln rocktden Förster" festival since 2007 as a countermeasure against right-wing extremism.
• Mobile advisory team against right-wing extremism Hesse collects incidents with a right-wing extremist background and offers help and advice.
