Creative competition: Take a stand against racism in Magdeburg!

Magdeburg is all about tolerance! From now on, all trainees and students are called upon to submit their creative ideas in the “Yellow Hand” competition. The Construction-Agrar-Environment Industrial Union (IG BAU) is calling for active participation in order to send a clear signal against discrimination and racism. Whether it’s a short film, social media campaign or exhibition – the possibilities are diverse. A particular focus is on the mobilization of young people in Magdeburg, as Thomas Waldheim, the district chairman of IG BAU Altmark-Börde-Harz, emphasizes: “It is important to resolutely put a stop to extreme right-wing and racist machinations everywhere.”
