Ulm food for thought: A strong symbol for law and justice!
The 18th Ulm Food for Thought took place last Saturday, March 15, 2025, in the Ulm town hall and lasted three days. The event, which was dedicated to the theme of “Law and Justice”, offered a platform for high-quality lectures, interactive sessions and a poetry slam that took place on Friday evening. A film about the fight for justice rounded off the program.
The event, supported by the Education and Social Foundation of Sparda-Bank Baden-Württemberg, was very well attended. The donations collected during the food for thought were doubled and rounded up by the bank. The non-profit association WEISSE RING, which is dedicated to supporting victims of crime, received a check for 5,000 euros. The check was handed over by Cathrin Clausnitzer, the market area manager of Sparda-Bank Baden-Württemberg, and was accepted by Sandra Gillmeister, head of the Ulm/Alb-Donau-Kreis branch of the WEISSER RING, and her deputy Sebastian Gillmeister.
Diverse program with a social focus
The Ulm food for thought attracted a diverse audience who exchanged ideas about democracy, the rule of law, social justice, resistance and civil disobedience. Professor Christoph Möllers opened the event with a lecture in which he discussed the question of whether the law can protect us from politics. Other speakers included Dr. Samira Akbarian and Meşale Tolu, who dealt with civil disobedience and social issues. Julia Friedrichs spoke about the topic of wealth before Mehmet Daimagüler concluded the series of events with a final lecture.
The mayor of Ulm, Iris Mann, praised the decision to choose the WEISSER RING as the recipient of the fundraising campaign. “Every euro goes to the victims of violent crimes,” said Sandra Gillmeister. The importance of victim protection and the legal options available to victims of crime is crucial; German criminal law offers several options to protect the rights of those affected during the proceedings. It is particularly important to ensure the dignity and integrity of the victims.
The WHITE RING and supporting victims
The organization is actively committed to supporting victims and offers them a variety of assistance in the legal environment. The instruments include, among other things, the possibility of co-plaintiffs, psychosocial support in the process and witness protection measures for vulnerable victims. These approaches ensure that those affected can count on support and support even in difficult situations.
The Ulm food for thought once again drew attention to the essential importance of the topic. The combination of informative lectures and practical aid activities such as the handover of donations speaks for a strong social awareness of the needs of crime victims.
