On 10 June 2025, class 10c participated in the nationwide campaign #IchStehAuf – Schools for Democracy and Diversity. With the self-chosen slogan “Democracy does not work alone,” the students made a clear statement for solidarity, participation, and mutual respect.

In a time when public debates are increasingly characterized by division and polarization, it is more important than ever to live democratic values in everyday school life. School is a place of diversity – here people with different life realities, perspectives, and opinions come together. The 10c saw this exactly as an opportunity: together the students worked out what freedom and democracy have to do with each other and where personal red lines lie.

The #IchStehAuf campaign, initiated by the Robert Bosch Foundation, calls on schools nationwide to publicly commit to democracy and diversity. Class 10c has joined this call with conviction and made it clear with their motto: Democracy lives by participation.

Together we stand up—for a respectful, democratic togetherness.
