About SHIELD
SHIELD is a student-led advocacy group based at the Hertie School in Berlin.
SHIELD focuses on the intersectional nature of identity; crucially, this includes, but is not limited to, race, ethnicity, and global identity.
In addition to serving as a center for students of color to gather and find community, SHIELD aims to educate the Hertie community on the importance of designing policy with marginalised groups in mind.
What we do
SHIELD advocates for diversity, equity and inclusion academia, deliver recommendations how policy can be designed to serve them and host events that highlight various marginalised groups.
Advocacy
In our work, we promote and research policy solutions to issues of diversity, inclusion, and discrimination.
Policy
Leveraging student knowledge in policy and international affairs, we take a look at how to make The Hertie School a leader in Diversity & Inclusion.
Events
To promote the issues and raise awareness of progressive solutions, we host events with expert speakers.
