Empirical analyses show that schools are also involved in racist structures and the (re-)production of racism-relevant differentiations, which limits inclusion success and educational opportunities. For this reason, the BMBF-funded joint project RAISE aims to contribute to gaining knowledge about the conditions, possibilities and limits of racism-critical personnel and organisational development in schools in order to improve the participation of all pupils in the migration society.

Under the responsibility of the network management at the University of Siegen, a model of professional racism-critical competence will be specified in a science-practice partnership, on the basis of which a practical app for teachers will be designed. This app enables teachers to diagnose their own level of competence and offers automated personal feedback with individually customised information modules and reflection impulses for self-directed competence development. It also contains diversity-sensitive didactic expertise and spaces for networked empowerment and power sharing. To lay the foundations for the app functions, the partner KiTma e.V. is analysing the requirements for professionalisation that is critical of racism from the field of anti-discrimination work and creating materials. After being trialled at partner schools, the app will be published as a free skills development tool. In order to develop additional possibilities for anchoring research-based anti-racism goals for school development in school system guidelines and institutions, the joint partner, the University of Wuppertal, is analysing state-specific school guidelines and offers, including school development counselling. These goals, with their regulatory function, provide both school development counselling in the state and the schools themselves with impetus for the implementation of important aspects of racism criticism.
