Events

We offer weekend seminars and day seminars/events on topics such as climate change, justice, politics and economy. Just as well, we focus on  topics that relate to the student’s experience of living and studying in Germany as there is the question of managing time, projects and life after completing their studies etc.

• We can refund travel expenses for internships and while studying in developing countries for BA, MA and diploma students.
• Find all the neccessary details at Reisekosten – BPSA.
• We support your local activities. You suggest an event to take place in one of the university towns across Saxony and we will help you organise it and/ or support you financially.

Our seminars offer the opportunity to get to know people who come from different countries around the world in order to study in Germany. Talking to each other, getting advice and useful hints, discussing political issues concerning your native country and the whole world, even having a party… This and much more is STUBE!

Topics are suggested by the students. They are chosen in a meeting called ‘Planungstag’ which takes place once a year.

But don’t hesitate to approach us any time and tell us about your ideas and suggestions for possible future events. We will certainly try to fit them in our agenda/programme.

Events reach out to students from Africa, Asia, Latin America, Southeast Europe who are currently enroled at a university in Saxony. STUBE Sachsen is also open to those who share an interest in exchanging their experiences, views, ideas  etc. These can be students from Germany, people who are no longer studying anymore, fellow students or friends.

Feel free to aks the STUBE coordinators.

You will get all neccessary information and details via the E-Mail-newsletter.

Please subscribe to it. You will then receive invitations regularily. Keep in mind, STUBE email often ends up in the spam folder at first.

The newsletter is free of charge and can easily be cancelled with a few clicks.

Registration for weekend seminars is possible only as early as 4 weeks before the event.

Invitations are sent as soon as the registration procedure starts.

The registration is binding with the day of the last possible registration.

This is especially important if it comes to events with accommodation and food&drink provided. We kindly ask you to refrain from cancellations.

Cancellations cause irresponsibly high costs, time and effort. Rooms and tickets already booked, and food ordered can amount to costs to up to 70 Euros a weekend.

In case you are not able to take part in a seminar, please let us know as soon as possible. It would be very kind and helpful if you could find another person to take part in the seminar instead.

In case of cancelling short notice, we will not be able to refund the fee and won’t be able to guarantee attendance of further seminars in the future.

Thanks in advance to all students who stay signed up.

For weekend seminars, we charge a fee of appr. 15 Euros per person.

Accommodation, 3 meals, coffe, tea, water, lectures, fare are included in that fee.

Usually, several people from the same town travel together. They exchange telephone numbers, agree on where and when to meet and travel in small groups by bus, coach, or regional train. (Please don’t go by ICE trains as they are too expensive.) 

Please keep the tickets and submit them to STUBE. Travel expenses within the State of Saxony will be refunded. We provide envelopes for the tickets which you then are asked to send back to STUBE.

STUBE will refund travel expenses when travelling from Saxony.

Please pay for the tickets, keep them and hand them in to the STUBE team during the course of the event. For the way back, we have prepared an envelope and a form enclosed. Please take the form, fill in the number of your bank account, enclose the ticket and send the letter back to STUBE.

Field excursions to distant destinations are booked by STUBE as group tickets. Thus you only need to pay for the ticket to get you to the place where you are supposed to meet all the other participants.

STUBE stands for open and varied educational offers.

Our seminars are meant to be interactive. Participants have the opportunity to listen to lectures, discuss a variety of topics and issues and form their own opinion. Just as well, students themselves are welcome to hold lectures, do presentations, prepare activities or co-teach a seminar. Feel free to try things out. Making new friends, getting advice for your studies, sharing a laugh, unwinding from everyday life, enjoying a meal together and dancing late into the night will come as a byproduct and a treat.

STUBE seminars are usually held in German and English. Interpreting is common practice. There is often somebody of the participants who is able to interpret. Chances are that someone will even speak your own language. Questions can be asked in German and English.

When registrating, you may tell your preferences regarding food:

Are you vegetarian (no meat eaten), vegan (no products from any animals at all eaten) or you don’t eat pork? Do you eat halal (Unfortunately not easy to get in Saxony!)?

We do our best to order and offer international cousine. Feel free to contribute to the dining table by bringing along some homemade food being your favourite or a typical dish/speciality of your native country.
