Are you an international student and want to take part in the mentoring program?
Sie begleiten eine*n internationale*n Studierende*n während des ersten Semesters des Bachelor- oder Masterstudiums und unterstützen ihn oder sie bei:
- Studienorganisation
- Orientierung auf dem Campus
- Kennenlernen von Stuttgart
- Deutsch üben und deutsche Kultur verstehen
… local students in at least their third semester...
- who have time to meet their mentee 2-3 times a month over the course of one semester
- with German as their first language or with very good German skills (C1)
- who would like to get to know other cultures
- who are interested in doing voluntary work
- a one-on-one mentoring tandem with an international student
- thorough preparation of mentors and mentees
- support during the semester to ensure a functioning mentoring relationship
- interesting workshops and courses taught by students for students
- a recreational program with roundtables, excursions and online activities
- plus points when applying for a study abroad program
- a certificate of attendance, recognized as part of the certificate for intercultural competence and internationality (website only available in German)
- If desired: recognition of the mentoring activity as an interdisciplinary key qualification (SQ, 3 ECTS, extra conditions)
- if desired: recognition of the mentoring activity as part of the Certificate Gender and Diversity (Module C: Practice, extra conditions)
Short on time, but want to attend international events? Interested in helping an international student during their arrival (e.g. pick-up from the airport)? Then take a look at the Buddy program ready.study.stuttgart (website only available in German)!
I think the mentoring program is great, and I hope that it will continue to be offered. Students benefit from it in many ways: language-wise, culturally, personally, and skill-wise…I also find it is important given the current refugee situation to reach out to strangers in order to help them. The mentoring program can do a lot in this regard.
