​THE Beginning

How it started

​The Łódź of Diversity Coalition was established in 2020 in Łódź on the initiative of the HaKoach Association, as a result of cooperation with the Nomada Association from Wrocław as part of the "Collective Power to Incite Change" project financed by the EVZ Foundation

​​​The idea of this kind of coalition was born in opposition to the racist attacks that took place around us. Amina, a Muslim woman, who many times heard offensive comments against her just because she used public transport wearing a hijab. Dawid, a Jew who was thrown out of the club at Piotrkowska street because of the Star of David worn around the neck. Unfortunately, hate speech and hate crimes are still real problems that we pay attention to.

​We invited people involved in intercultural dialogue and broadly understood anti-discrimination activities to create it. We came to the conclusion that together we can achieve more than separately, and the diversity of perspectives, experiences and tools gives us the opportunity to create a common strategy that will work.

​From the beginning, we wanted to promote attitudes of acceptance, counteract hate speech and hate crimes, as well as support migrants living in Łódź. We believe that the best way to do this is through joint activities ​– educational, social, cultural, as well as through mutual substantive support and consultations. 

​We believe that together we can change the reality around us to make it a friendly place for everyone, regardless of religion, nationality, psychosexual orientation, disability and other identity features.
