How can student councils help ensure that all students feel comfortable and (more) safe in their classes? Answers to this question will be provided by the target-group-oriented workshop on awareness in a university setting on August 25, 2026.

Are you a member of the student council but don’t know anything about awareness (yet)? No problem! Just sign up for the workshop on awareness-raising in a university setting:

August 25, 2026

What to expect:

  • Basics of awareness: definitions, principles, and key terms
  • Understanding discrimination and raising awareness of different forms of exclusion

Whether you already have experience with awareness work or are new to the topic, you are warmly invited to attend.
