Ort der Vielfalt (German pronunciation: [ˈɔʁt deːɐ̯ ˈfiːlfalt], lit. 'place of diversity') is an initiative launched in 2007 by the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the Federal Government Commissioner for Migration, Refugees and Integration with the aim of strengthening the commitment of communities, towns and districts in Germany to cultural diversity.[1] This initiative comes from the federal programmes Vielfalt tut gut. Jugend für Vielfalt, Toleranz und Demokratie (German for Variety is good. Youth for diversity, tolerance and democracy) and kompetent. für Demokratie – Beratungsnetzwerke gegen Rechtsextremismus (German for competent. for democracy - advisory networks against right-wing extremism). Since 1 January 2011, the Federal Programme Toleranz fördern – Kompetenz stärken (Promoting Tolerance - Strengthening Competence) has again been continuing the two federal programmes under one roof.[2]
