Solidarity with student protests & offer of a safe space at the HfMT Hamburg

The Hamburg University of Music and Drama observes with concern anti-democratic developments such as the use of state power for autocratic positions of power against its own population in various countries and pays tribute to the actions and demonstrations of students in Georgia, Serbia, Turkey and Romania. They take to the streets for democracy and freedom rights and find impressive forms of protest. In doing so, they not only risk losing their places at university, but also fines or prison sentences, threats and, in the worst case, even their physical integrity. The Hamburg University of Music and Drama - with its many international students from these countries - stands for artistic and academic freedom, diversity and democracy. With this in mind, we as the university management would like to express our solidarity with the students and teaching staff in the countries affected.

As a university, it is important to us not only to show solidarity, but also to provide concrete support. Therefore, on April 8, we are offering all HfMT Hamburg students who feel burdened by current social and political developments or who need to talk, a protected space, the Safe Space.
HfMT students can find detailed information on the university's intranet.
