Silke Hatzinger

Silke Hatzinger is a consulting teacher and school psychologist who has been actively addressing the rising incidents of right-wing extremism in German schools. She works as one of the 26 Regional Representatives for Democracy and Tolerance in Bavaria, a position established to combat and educate against hate speech and extremist ideologies in educational settings. Hatzinger has been particularly affected by alarming cases involving students displaying Nazi symbols and slogans, yet she remains hopeful about fostering a more tolerant and accepting school environment.
