The national “Democratic Competence for Companies Initiative” (Initiative betriebliche Demokratiekompetenz) has established a project network to support companies and vocational schools in effectively combating racism and right-wing extremism. The aim is to use formats which promote democracy as a vehicle to counter inequality ideologies and to develop democratic competencies. This article illustrates why focusing on the world of work can be beneficial in terms of encouraging democratic attitudes and competencies. It also provides insights into the network’s practical operation.
