FORTHEM opiskelijaprojekti: Creating Support Against Racism – Developing strategies for effective fundraising
- How can they build communities that are willing to support their work for democracy and human rights?
- How can creative communication campaigns turn important values into real action?
Help us find the answers in our project “Creating Support Against Racism”.
An international and interdisciplinary group of students will do volunteer work with the Stiftung für die Internationalen Wochen gegen Rassismus (abbreviated as Stiftung gegen Rassismus), the organization behind Germany’s annual “International Weeks Against Racism”. Together, they will focus on understanding and analyzing the Stiftung’s work, as well as its fundraising and nonprofit operations. The aim is then to develop fresh ideas and creative communication strategies aimed at engaging young audiences to support the Stiftung and to engage in their community of donors.
The project runs from June to September 2026 and is a mix of online/remote work and an on-site project week (likely in September 2026).
It is open to all students of JGU as well as students from the FORTHEM Alliance – regardless of their degree level or study program. Participation is free of charge and for the non-JGU students, FORTHEM can provide financial support for the trip to Mainz.
NOTE! JYU can provide a travel grant for a maximum of two students for the on-site project week. The travel grants are given on a "first come first served" principle. Please contact forthem@jyu.fi if you are interested.
