Since 2005 she has been the head of the institute “Social Justice and Diversity” as well as a trainer and instructor.

In 1999 Czollek founded the private institute “Czollek Consult. Institute for Mediation, Diversity and Dialog ". Inspired by the “Diversity and Social Justice Education” model developed at the University of Massachusetts , together with Heike Weinbach and Gudrun Perko, in 2001 she conceived her own critical education and training concept called “Social Justice and Diversity” for the German-speaking area. In 2005 she founded the "Institute Social Justice and Diversity" together with Perko and Weinbach and has been the institute director, trainer and instructor there ever since. The social justice and diversity training is a discrimination-critical educational concept in favor of inclusion, participation and participation. In addition to Czollek and Perko, the institute's team consists of Max Czollek and Corinne Kaszner. It offers training for specialists in social institutions, employees in organizations, companies, ministries, for university lecturers, students and others. The institute cooperates with the DGB-Bildungswerk, the Alice-Salomon-Hochschule Berlin and, since 2012, with the Central Institution for Further Education of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. The training is scientifically evaluated. Czollek also organizes workshops and trainings on the individual focal points of the training (such as the basics of social justice and discrimination - critical diversity as well as classism, racism , anti-Semitism , ableism , east / west, age discrimination / adultism, sexism as well as a shift in perspective and empowerment strategies ).

Czollek was co-editor of the magazine Quer from 2000 to 2012 . Thinking - reading - writing on behalf of the women's representative at the Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences. She has written numerous articles on gender / queer as well as social justice and diversity, the concept of being allied and the dialogical method Mahloquet (dialogical-constructive debate) and presented their meanings for individual areas of social work practice. Together with Perko she developed two diversity concepts: “Radical Diversity” and “Discrimination-Critical Diversity”. Diversity is understood as an answer to structural discrimination, which is understood as the interaction of individual, institutional and cultural practices that are interwoven and are characterized by exploitation, violence, exclusion and marginalization. Czollek has published various textbooks and manuals in the field of education and social professions.
