RAA Berlin (Regionale Arbeitsstellen für Bildung, Integration und Demokratie e.V.)

RAA Berlin (Regionale Arbeitsstellen für Bildung, Integration und Demokratie e.V.) is an independent, non-profit registered association based in Berlin, Germany. Since 1991 it has worked for educational equity, supporting anti-discrimination and anti-racism participation projects in daycare centres (Kitas), schools, the school environment and municipalities. The organisation describes itself as a diversity-oriented provider that develops process-oriented consultancy formats and further-education concepts, and it applies a diversity-oriented organisational development approach to help both state institutions and civil-society organisations review their internal and external practices critically with regard to discrimination and racism. RAA Berlin is a recognised provider of political education, a provider of free youth welfare and a school-development workshop. It is financed through foundations, public funds and donations. Its work focuses on strengthening people and communities who experience discrimination and on involving them and their knowledge substantially in its projects. The diversity of its teams is treated as a key condition for the quality of its work, linking professional expertise with community contexts and activist experience. The association is led by managing director Katja Kinder, who has held the role since January 2021. Its board includes Miriam Siré Camara as chairperson and Dr. Jan ... (further board members are named on the organisation's website). RAA Berlin publishes project results and materials, runs an academy, and maintains a public presence on current social and political issues. In July 2026 it issued a statement of solidarity following an attack on the CSD (Christopher Street Day), linking queer-hostile violence to the normalisation of fascist ideologies and the weakening of protective spaces. As a civil-society organisation rather than a commercial company, RAA Berlin operates in the education and social sector, offering consultancy, training, project development and publications. Its brand identity is tied to its values: building opportunities, removing barriers and treating diversity as the norm.

From its beginnings it has stood for educational equity, supporting anti-discrimination and anti-racism participation projects in daycare centres (Kitas), schools, the school environment and municipalities. Over the decades it developed various forms of process-oriented consultancy and further-education concepts, and it established a diversity-oriented organisational development approach aimed at helping both state institutions and civil-society organisations critically review their internal and external practices with regard to discrimination and racism and develop them in a diversity-oriented way. The organisation describes itself as a diversity-oriented provider whose work is directed at strengthening people and communities who experience discrimination and involving them and their knowledge substantially in its work.

RAA Berlin supports all those involved in educational processes with targeted offers. As a non-profit association, a recognised provider of political education, a provider of free youth welfare and a school-development workshop, RAA Berlin is financed through foundations, public funds and donations. Its self-description emphasises that it is pragmatic, diverse, persistent and experienced, and that its work is based on listening, long-term commitment and trust. The diversity of society is described as both normality and inspiration. In January 2021 Katja Kinder became managing director of RAA Berlin. The association's board currently includes Miriam Siré Camara as chairperson and Dr. Jan ... (further board members are named on the organisation's website). The organisation maintains an academy, publishes project results and materials, and engages publicly with current social and political issues.
