Diversity Days - CSD CottbusOpening of the CSD action weeks 2023
And once again we, the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, were there - to open the CSD action weeks.
Under the motto "Attention - Shaping Diversity", the CSD Action Weeks were opened by BTU President Prof. Dr. Gesine Grande with the traditional raising of the rainbow flag at 11 a.m. on June 26, 2023. This marked the start of two weeks of effective advocacy for LGBTQI+ rights and visibility, making diversity, love and respect visible in the city.
The rainbow flag was also visible at all other BTU locations during the action period.
The CSD action weeks for Cottbus and Niederlausitz took place from 26.06.2023 to 08.07.2023. The full program can be found on the pages of the CSD Cottbus e.V. The conclusion of the CSD action weeks was, as every year, the CSD demonstration, which starts at the Stadthallenvorplatz in Cottbus.
