Erlangen, Germany - Anti-rumour Picnic Banquet

To launch the C4i Communication für Vielfalt (Communication for Diversity) campaign, the city of Erlangen built a banquet table over 180 meters in length and hosted a giant picnic along the main street of the city. About 1,000 Erlangers and asylum seekers directly communicated and exchanged with each other, and took away with them information about rumours and how to counter them. In their C4i campaign, Erlangen puts a particular emphasis on asylum seekers as prejudices about them gained new political relevance further to a request by the government to accommodate 300 new asylum seekers.
