STEMPLET APP
AN APP TO STAMP OUT DISCRIMINATION.
Most people never share their experiences of discrimination, making it a difficult issue to address. But now Copenhageners have a tool at their fingertips to help them do just that, and in the process map exactly how widespread unfair treatment is in the city.
Being turned away by a nightclub is an experience most will have the misfortune to suffer. But when a group of young men were turned away from five out of six clubs in one evening, it made newspaper headlines. The reason: they were the children of immigrants. Stemplet – Danish for 'labelled' or 'stigmatised' – wants to address the underreported experiences of discrimination. Two members of the organisation, Firas Mahmoud and Eline Feldman, believe they can strike a blow against discrimination and change what it means to be a Copenhagener.
