Summer semester 2021
In the summer semester of 2021, the Department Viadrina International Affairs is offering various workshops to support international students in their studies and to offer the opportunity to build up job related competencies and key qualifications.
Please note that the program for summer semester 2021 is currently still in progress and will be continously expanded.
What defines the German labor market - and what perhaps distinguishes it from other work cultures? What are the customs in the German business world? Participants in this workshop familiarize themselves with intercultural learning experiences by learning to better interpret their own behavior and assessments and thus prevent intercultural misunderstandings. In addition, participants get to know the German business world and the application process in Germany better.
Target group: This workshop is primarily aimed at international students and students with a migrant and/or refugee background. However, in case there are places availabe, also other Viadrina students are invited to take part. (Please note that the workshop is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) within the project DAAD Integra. In this context places in the workshop are partly provided for international Viadrina students from Turkey, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Eritrea and Nigeria.)

Many women see themselves exposed to sexualized and / or racist attacks against women in everyday life. Regardless of whether intrusive looks, suggestive comments or jokes, showing obscene representations or even physical assaults lead to these border crossings - a feeling of helplessness often arises. Sexualized and / or racist attacks and border crossings happen on the street, in the family, but also in the university. The aim of this empowerment workshop is self-assertion. The better this succeeds, the less often physical self-defense is necessary.
In addition, participants learn the basic elements of Wendo. Wendo is directed against various attacks against women and supports them in standing up for themselves.
