Diversity in Vienna: Exchange for integration in the Brigittenauer Amtshaus

In the Brigittenau Amtshaus, there was a significant exchange between Vice Mayor Christoph Return and representatives of migrant organizations. This dialogue was part of the series of discussions "Your Vienna. Your city" and aimed to discuss the values of different cultures in order to strengthen the cohesion in the Viennese community. In an increasingly multicultural city such as Vienna, especially in the Brigittenau human rights district, such topics are urgently important.

The exchange focused on the possibilities that immigrant people in Vienna can be offered to actively participate in social life. The Austrian constitution served as a common denominator for the coexistence of a wide variety of cultures.

discussion about values

In the discussion round, central values such as democracy, the rule of law and religious freedom were discussed. At first glance, these terms seem to be complex, but they are directly related to the challenges that migrants face in Vienna. It was reflected on how respect, equal treatment and educational opportunities are interpreted in different cultures and how important it is to find a common denominator.

District head Christine Dubravac Widholm described the progress in Brigittenau as positive, but at the same time emphasized that there is always room for improvements. Her thanks went to the participants of the round because she emphasized the responsibility of the district as a human rights district for a respectful, tolerant coexistence.

Vice Mayor Return underlined the value of diversity in Vienna. He explained that the city urgently needed people who are willing to actively interlock and contribute to the community, in particular economically. "Vienna has a clear advantage due to its diversity," said return.

The meeting in Brigittenau was the last of a three -part series of discussions organized by the City of Vienna. It underlines the city's commitment to promote integration and create a space for dialogue between cultures.
