The educational organization LIFE e.V. launched the model project "Anlaufstelle für Diskriminierungsschutz und Diversity an Schulen” (ADAS) with the objective of developing and entrenching effective anti-discrimination work in Berlin schools through an independent contact point as well as internal school complaint mechanisms.

As part of the model project, ADAS offers a low-threshold and confidential complaint option for people experiencing individual or institutional forms of discrimination in schools in Berlin: affected students, parents and teachers can turn to the contact point ADAS operating throughout Berlin from Spring 2016 onwards.

The following results can be expected:

• Qualified and independent complaint management for schools
• Valid data on discrimination experiences (extent, type of school, age, characteristics, how often, etc.) and successful interventions to reduce discrimination
• Recommendations for action for Berlin politicians
