Bochum’s clear statement against racism: Over 8.500 people took part in the nationwide campaign “Hand in hand against rascism” and formed a 3.4 kilometre long human chain. Between Bochum Central station, „Kirmesplatz“ and city hall, the participants created a peaceful and friendly atmosphere as part of the national migration day.

The closing event took place at Dr.-Ruer-Platz with several speeches and musical entertainment.
