ISHR Honoured with “ZUKUNFT braucht VIELFALT” Award in Intersektional Category

We are proud to announce that ISHR was honoured with the prestigious “ZUKUNFT braucht VIELFALT” 2025 Award in the Intersektional category. This significant accolade, initiated by Region Hannover’s economic development team, recognises organisations in the region that actively promote and celebrate diversity in all its dimensions — including age, ethnicity, gender identity, ability, religion, sexual orientation, and social background.

At ISHR, fostering an inclusive, diverse community has always been a fundamental part of our mission. Our longstanding commitment to cultural openness, inclusive policies, multilingual communication, and student diversity initiatives has created a learning environment where every individual feels valued and respected. This award is a powerful acknowledgement of those efforts and inspires us to deepen our dedication to inclusion.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Schmidt‑van Die, a member of our Secondary Faculty and the passionate supervisor of our Student Diversity Council. Her leadership and dedication have been vital to the success of our diversity initiatives. We also thank our site manager, Mr. Warchala, whose unwavering support and involvement played a crucial role in this achievement.

Receiving the “ZUKUNFT braucht VIELFALT” Award encourages us to continue building a vibrant, welcoming space for all members of our community. At ISHR, we believe that diversity enriches education and empowers every voice to be heard — shaping a stronger future for everyone.
