Hoaxmap
Hoaxmap – ''News from the rumor mill'' – is a project created on the personal initiative of Karolin Schwarz, an ethnologist of African studies from Leipzig, Germany. Since February 8, 2016, the website hoaxmap.org is online, starting with a list of 177 hoaxes. In June 2016, 400 hoaxes were recorded with origin or reference point, including evidence of inaccuracy. Most of the false reports and rumors consist of defamation against refugees caught up in the European migrant crisis. Schwarz receives subtle threats from the political right. Other people thanked her for clarification. The hoax usually is spread due to prejudices of those holding a simplistic view, dividing the world into good and evil, and with a lack of media literacy. News and broadcasts from Australia, USA, Arabia and Germany reported about the Hoaxmap project. In April 2016 Hoaxmap was nominated for ''Grimme Online Award''.Katharina Leuoth''Schon gehört, …?''

Anti-racism In Germany
Anti-racism encompasses a range of ideas and political actions which are meant to counter racial prejudice, systemic racism, and the oppression of specific racial groups. Anti-racism is usually structured around conscious efforts and deliberate actions which are intended to provide equal opportunities for all people on both an individual and a systemic level. As a philosophy, it can be engaged in by the acknowledgment of personal privileges, confronting acts as well as systems of racial discrimination, and/or working to change personal racial biases. Major contemporary anti-racism efforts include Black Lives Matter organizing and workplace antiracism.
