WHAT DO WE DO?

We advise the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM) on equality policy issues. In addition to the legal requirements (see §17,2 LGG), the Equal Opportunity Team at KHM is available to all members of the university (students, employees and faculty). The Equal Opportunity Officer and the Equal Opportunity Team therefore see themselves as equally committed to LGBTQIA+ members in addition to the traditional perception of the concerns of female members. We are committed to equal opportunities for all genders and the implementation of a family-friendly and inclusive university. We support the dismantling of structurally based discrimination. Our goal is to make gender diversity at the university more visible and strengthen it.


The Equal Opportunity Officer (Erica / deputy: Carina) and the Equal Opportunity Team (Bomin, Heike, Juliane, Kasia, Mia, Tania) are among the persons of trust to whom you can turn for help on issues relevant to equal opportunity. Be it sexual harassment, abuse of power, bullying, stalking or other borderline violations at KHM, or if you observe them in your environment. All inquiries and conversations will be kept confidential. If desired or necessary, the Equal Opportunity Officer will refer you to further assistance or official complaint offices.


Equality work at KHM is done on a volunteer basis. In addition to our full-time work, we make every effort to attend further training courses that can support us in this task. We are well networked to utilize expertise from people who have more subject-specific experience than we do.



Goals and tasks in particular:

  • Participation in recruitment and appointment procedures
  • Supporting measures to reconcile family and career or studies
  • Committee work with a view to equal opportunities and fairness within the framework of the KHM university contract
  • Initial counseling and support for persons affected by sexual and gender-based discrimination and violence
  • Development of projects on topics relevant to equality


The Equal Opportunity Officer is advised and supported by the Equal Opportunity Team. She reports annually to the Senate on the status of her activities and regularly participates in the meetings of the Rectorate and the Senate.


The equal opportunity work is oriented towards the State Equal Opportunity Act (LGG) and the Art University Act (KunstHG) of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. The election of the Equal Opportunity Officer and the Equal Opportunity Team takes place every two years in accordance with the Basic Regulations of the KHM.


The Equal Opportunity Team is composed and elected from all four status groups - students, professors, artistic and scientific staff, administrative and technical staff.


The Equal Opportunities Office of the KHM is a member of the State Conference of Equal Opportunities Officers at Universities and University Hospitals in North Rhine-Westphalia (LAKof) and the Federal Conference of Women's and Equal Opportunities Officers at Universities (bukof). She is a member of WIFT Germany, the international business network for women in the film and television industry and digital media. She supports and engages for "GEMEINSAM FÜR GENDER-GERECHTIGKEIT" - an initiative of the University of Television and Film Munich, the Filmuniversität Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF and the ifs internationale filmschule köln.


Since 2017, Equality has supported INTO THE WILD, a mentoring program for female students* and graduates*.


In addition, since 2019, Equality has been offering and supporting the KHM's Förderpreis für Künstlerinnen* and cooperating with the International Frauen Film Fest Dortmund | Köln (IFFF) and the Museum Morsbroich in Leverkusen.
