In a first project phase (2018 – 2022), in which OUR CAMPUS was located at the Marie Jahoda Centre, a Moodle self-learning course was created, an awareness campaign was successfully implemented and there were lots of exciting offers and information, both online and offline. You can see the campaign at the time here, for example, and you can still find the blog posts written during that time on the UNSER CAMPUS blog. If you want to know more, you can find the initiators of the project here.
Project presentation UNSER CAMPUS 2018 – 2022:
Our campus is a public space. It stands for knowledge, exchange, friendship and tolerance.
It stands for our future.
Sometimes you take a leisurely stroll across it with a cup of coffee, other times you wander through the corridors stressed out, because even after two years the university is still a huge labyrinth.
A large number of people move through this space every day. We pass many of them, others catch our eye, some stay by our side for a lifetime.
A space like this harbours potential for great things, but also for conflict. Naturally, different behaviours, opinions and boundaries clash here. This is precisely why attention and respect are particularly important on our campus.Kein Wort, keine Geste und auch keine Rocklänge – nichts rechtfertigt übergriffiges Verhalten.
Whether planned or spontaneous, realise that what you do can hurt the other person. Boundaries are subjective; boundaries are negotiated depending on the situation and context. Recognising boundaries is not that complicated.
Be sensitive and attentive. Ask for them. Then you’ll be on the safe side and can help make our campus a safe place full of opportunities.
Our digital self-study programme ‘Together for a university without discrimination!’ on Moodle offers the opportunity to familiarise yourself with topics that are often discussed in society and also play a major role in our interactions on campus.

A challenge for many universities!
The university is a social space. Social problems and taboo topics are also reflected here. In April 2018, the German Rectors‘ Conference made it clear that universities are particularly vulnerable – whether due to anonymity, spatial conditions or dependency relationships in jobs and studies. Since 2008, our university has been committed to fair treatment at work and study places. [Note: RUB’s anti-discrimination policy, which applies to all university members and replaces the previous policy, has been in place since 2023]. Ruhr-Universität Bochum does not tolerate harassment, sexualised violence and discrimination on campus. The university protects all students and employees regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation.
Everyone is responsible for our campus. From the university management and the management of the AKAFÖ to the students and employees. This includes mindfulness, respect and civil courage as well as transparent preventative and counselling measures.
It is important to the university that you feel safe on our campus! This is the only way you can work, further your education and achieve your goals.
Everyone is part of the campus. We are counting on you!
