The MOSAIK network is a network for employees of the City of Cologne with an international family history and employees who have experienced racism or antisemitism. It was founded in March 2024 on the initiative of the then Integration Council (now the Committee for Equal Opportunities and Integration) and currently has around 320 members. The network is coordinated by the Municipal Integration Center in the Office for Integration and Diversity. The MOSAIK network organizes events with different focus topics, in particular on empowerment, careers and cultural, linguistic, religious and origin-related diversity. The members are committed to a discrimination-sensitive working environment in which all employees of the city administration have the same opportunities to develop professionally and contribute their perspectives. The MOSAIK network creates spaces for exchange and mutual support. The new brochure contains further compact information about the MOSAIK network. You can access it here: MOSAIK Network brochure
The Intercultural Centers have been supported by the City of Cologne for over 40 years and are committed to equal and peaceful coexistence in Cologne. The centers are also a place for self-organization and an active and lively shaping of democracy. Furthermore, the Intercultural Centers work against racism and for an urban society of diversity. As part of an empowerment project, the centers have developed a timeless calendar that makes the diversity, creativity and voices of Cologne's urban society visible. The calendar is intended as a long-term companion and offers inspiring impulses from intercultural work.
