Winter semester 2021/22

International students face many new challenges when they begin their studies in Germany. Academic work plays a central role in the successful study.

The workshop teaches the basics and specifics of academic work and aims to prepare international students for the German university system.

If you are looking for an effective method to deal with stress, whether in everyday life, in your studies, at work or in your relationships, and if you are also interested in increasing your self-awareness, this workshop is the right first step!

The techniques that you are introduced to in this workshop will support you in cultivating mindfulness - and thus help you create more spaciousness in your mind and around any body sensations.

Mindfulness is the ability to consciously direct and shift our focus and therefore not get stuck so easily or for so long,to always begin againand to meet with curiosity and interest what is alive in and around us in every new moment. Mindfulness allows us to be more at peace with things that cannot be changed.

And mindfulness practice gives us the (head-) space we need to take alternative perspectives, perspectives that are more helpful and solution-focused.

Like the surfer who can only remain steady when he lifts his gaze from the wobbly board to the horizon and the direction in which he wants to ride.

• Exercises and methods to develop your mindfulness skills
• Mindful awareness of the body
• Sitting meditation
• Exercises to apply mindfulness in everyday life
• Mindful communication

This is a cooperation with the Psychological Counselling Center of the Viadrina.

Resilience is an amazing skill that helps us to recover quickly from difficulties. If you are resilient, you have learned how to cope with challenges, bounce back from setbacks and keep going. 

Looking after resilience can preserve your ability to enjoy life and perform up to your full potential during and after challenging times. It helps you to reach a balance between life activities, responsibilities, and efforts. 

This workshop gives international students the chance to get together, understand, and deal with various challenges which might occur during the Corona pandemic, studies, working life, or by being in another country. 

Together you will explore strategies of how to develop and maintain good mental health and resilience during periods of exams and final papers as well as struggles of uncertainty, loneliness, anxiety, and/or cultural differences.

In this compact two-day Excel seminar you will pick out two topics: practical use of common and some uncommon Excel functions on one side and Excel programming with macros and VBA (= visual basic for applications) on the other.

After the first part of the seminar, you will be able to use many functions in Excel in the right and efficient way. You will discuss and use functions by themselves and complexly nested. After this, you will handle functions easily and know how to find help to functions you haven´t used yet. Apart from this, there will be loads of tips and tricks. Working with Excel makes fun, you´ll see!

After the function part of half a day comes automation of things in Excel with macros and VBA. Real programming you won´t learn in only one and a half-day, but with a well-structured beginning you will have a good head start and you will be able to continue learning VBA on your own if you find it useful. You will start with recording and executing macros, then optimize them by hand in the excel visual basic editor. After that, you will write VBA yourself, using all the help functions that the editor is offering you. 

The workshops consist partly of theory and lots of small, useful exercises to learn using Excel in the most efficient way. Come and see what Excel programming can do for you. Are you on? 

• at least some working experience with the program,
• computer with sound and microphone or headset,
• computer camera,
• second computer monitor or computer or tablet is of great use; on one screen you will follow the workshop, hear and see the presentation and on the other screen you can do your own exercises in Excel; one big monitor of at least 22 inches (60 cm) is possible too

With a population of more than 80 million people, Germany is the largest European economy and one of the largest economies in the world in real terms. Germany is also one of the world´s top three exporters. But is there a certain kind of behavior at work that can be called "typically German"? What would internationals need to know, observe and even adjust to when entering the German job market?

Internationals may often find themselves struggling to find their feet in the German (labor) culture. Customs such as the mysterious lunchtime greeting "Mahlzeit!" as well as the avoidance of uncertainty and the focus on the job itself (rather than on relationships) can leave foreigners confused and lead to intercultural misunderstandings.

This workshop explores historical and cultural events and phenomena that have an impact on working life in Germany as well as German business etiquette. This training will be very interactive, you should expect to take part actively in discussions and exercises to increase your knowledge about business culture in Germany. Don´t be afraid of the language barrier! Having to cope with this is a key skill of intercultural communication!

Most of us find it much easier to be kind and forgiving to those around us than to ourselves. Many of us have a rather loud inner critic, an inner voice that throws things at us that we would never say to other people. Especially when we do something wrong or a mishap happens to us, we are hard on ourselves. We are only friendly to ourselves when we have success and good achievements to show. Are you experiencing the same?

But we could use our friendship especially in the difficult times of our life. The more difficult things are, the more we need support - not least from ourselves. This ability to be a good friend to ourselves can be discovered, cultivated and practiced so that we have it at our disposal even in difficult situations. In this workshop, suggestions will be given that can be experienced practically through exercises. There will be short theoretical inputs, the focus will be on the own experiences made in the workshop and the exchange in the group.

• Exercises and reflections on kindness, motivation and compassion for oneself
• Exchange about the experiences in the exercises
• Theoretical background information on mindfulness and self-compassion as well as on the difference between self-compassion and self-compassion
• Suggestions for the continuation and deepening of the practice beyond the workshop

The workshop is designed for students who want to improve their self-management and emotional competence. Please note that the event consists of one date.

Many women are exposed to sexualized and/or racist assaults against women in everyday life. No matter whether intrusive looks, insinuating comments or jokes, the display of obscene images or even physical assaults lead to these border crossings - a feeling of helplessness often sets in when these own borders are crossed. Sexualized and/or racist assaults and border crossings happen on the street, in the family, but also in the university. The goal of this empowerment workshop is self-assertion. The better this is achieved, the less often physical self-defense is necessary. In addition, participants learn the basic elements of Wendo. Wendo is directed against various assaults against women and supports them in standing up for themselves.

• Basic exercises on breathing, voice, stance and balance
• Movement and reaction exercises
• Perception exercises
• Simple and effective kicks, punches and liberation techniques
• Body language exercises

Target group: International female students as well as female students with migration and/or refugee background of the Viadrina.

Conflicts are part of everyday life and can´t be avoided, especially in the professional world. They are an expression of different interests and occur at all levels of study and working life. Often the cause of a conflict is not obvious, and frequently conflicts are not even recognized. Behind seemingly factual disagreements, for example, there can be conflicts of values, internal conflicts or conflicts in relationships. With suitable tools, conflicts can be solved constructively, tensions can be recognized at an early stage and understood as an opportunity.

Reflect on your own conflict behavior and learn methods for effective conflict management and resolution.

Training contents:

• Conflict definition,
• Types of conflict,
• Escalation stages of conflicts,
• Addressing conflicts correctly,
• Dealing with criticism,
• Dealing with own and other people's emotions,
• Different conflict styles,
• Conducting conflict talks.
