“Locked Out of Heaven,” “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll”: Getting Active with Music for Diversity Day

To mark German Diversity Day on May 28, which promotes diversity and inclusion in organizations, Steinmühle actively addressed the topic of diversity both in the classroom and as a school community. To mark the occasion, a special program was held in the schoolyard during the second long break that day, featuring live band music, a flash mob, presentations, and performances. The students supported the event by wearing T-shirts with designs representing the theme of diversity. Even elementary school students joined in the fun! Once again, the Student Council made a strong showing at this event. Art teacher Ines Vielhaben hosted the activities in the schoolyard and was delighted by the presence of various colleagues. “We need everyone! Because diversity enriches our lives,” explained middle school principal Frank Wemme. Earlier, students had written down on colorful slips of paper what diversity means to them personally and why it is important. In this way, the event became a cross-grade-level activity with practical applications for everyday life.
