Peer Spaces

The peer spaces are a regular exchange format for people in similar life situations. Here, students and employees are offered the opportunity to exchange ideas and network. The aim is to provide a safe space in which students and employees can talk about their everyday university life and their and their experiences.

The self-understanding of the peer spaces:

Listening, talking, talking to each other, just being there, everything is possible - everyone who feels addressed is welcome.

Peer Space Inklusiv

The target group are students who want to talk about their everyday life as a student with a disability, chronic or mental illness and their experiences. Our goal: A safe space for all students with disabilities, chronic or mental illnesses.

The meetings take place digitally every other month. The date and the meeting link will be published here in advance.
