Gemeinschaft für studentischen Austausch in Mittel- und Osteuropa e.V.

GFPS is a student organization which is represented in almost all German university towns. Together with our partner associations in Poland (GFPS-Polska) and in the Czech Republic (GFPS-CZ) as well as the Central and Eastern Europe Initiative (IMOE), we organize various projects enabling young people from the three above-mentioned countries and Belarus to make contact with each other and discuss cultural and sociopolitical topics. Current projects include a German-Polish tandem language course, so called “city days”, the “Quadrat” with workshops, and many other events. In addition, GFPS awards semester-long scholarships for Polish, Czech, and Belarusian students, and in return partner associations welcome students from Germany for studies abroad. The activities are sponsored in part by the Foundation for German-Polish Cooperation, the German-Czech Future Fund, the Remembrance and Future Fund, and the Ebelin and Gerd Bucerius ZEIT Foundation. The organization operates under the auspices of Dr. Gesine Schwan.

The Freiburg sections sponsor one scholarship recipient from Poland, the Czech Republic, or Belarus each semester. In the summer semester 2011, we welcomed a student from the Czech Republic . After holding a series of lectures and organizing a three-part film series along with the AKA film club in winter semester 2010/11, we established small discussion and seminar groups in summer 2011 to discuss topics from our partner countries. During sociable events such as cooking evenings we also create a platform to get in contact with people from or interested in Poland, the Czech Republic or Belarus. Our program will be announced at the beginning of the academic term. All, who are interested, are welcome to participate and contribute their ideas to the group.

Anyone interested in supervising an exchange student or just dropping by to take part in our activities is welcome to do so. Just visit our Freiburg homepage for information on upcoming events:

(GRUPAL) Gruppe lateinamerikanischer Studierender der Universität Freiburg

Our goal is to ease the process of integration for Latin American students of the University of Freiburg on the one hand, and to encourage Latin American and German students to exchange their experiences on the other hand. We also endeavor to create room for discussion and exchange concerning Latin America at the university and in the city of Freiburg.

We thus organize various events during the semester, such as lectures, readings, cultural evenings, film showings, exhibitions, and get-togethers for the purpose of meeting new people and exchanging experiences. We also publish a small journal for literature, art, and culture in Portuguese (the “Andorinha”).

The International Office sends all Latin American students information about our activities during the semester. If you want us to put you on our mailing list, just write to us at one of the addresses listed here. This is particularly important if you are not from Latin America, as we cannot reach you over the International Office.

Just write us an e-mail so we can let you know what we’re planning! And for those of you who are interested in becoming involved more actively, we are looking for people to help us organize events. So if you want to participate, just contact us and we’ll let you know how you can help.

Luxemburger Studierendenverein Freiburg (S.L.U.F.)

SLUF (Studente vu Lëtzebuerg op der Uni Freiburg) is the student association of Luxemburgian students at the University of Freiburg and is currently approximately 45 members strong. It is one of over 30 Luxemburgian student associations in Europe. In 2007 we celebrated the 20-year anniversary of its founding.

The goal of the association is to bring Luxemburgian students together, to have a good time together, and to make friends by way of occasional meetings and activities. But the most important reason for getting together is for older students to share their experiences with beginning students. We can also be of help in finding an apartment or with questions concerning stud-ies. Just as well we’ve got a forum to arrange rides to and from Freiburg on sluf.lu

Our get-togethers and activities include a Boum de Bienvenue (03.11.11), a rally through the pubs of the city (15.11.11) as well as a ski weekend on the Feldberg (9.-11.12.11) and a bowling tournament (24.01.12) during the winter semester. In summer we organize barbecues on the lake, dinner on Luxemburg’s national holiday, a sport day and excursions to destinations in the region. We also take part in various tournaments. A particularly important event is the Tournoi de Noël in Luxemburg.

We are also engaged in student advising. Once a year, we welcome high school students from Luxemburg, introduce them to the city, the university, and student life, and provide them information about their potential course of study. In addition, we represent the University of Freiburg and the Freiburg College of Education at the trade fair ‚Foire de l’étudiant’ in Luxemburg and inform visitors as to the courses of study offered in Freiburg.

We meet every free Tuesday for drinks. The time and place of the next meeting is always on our homepage www.sluf.lu. The homepage also includes further information about our club and contact information.

Rumänisch-Bulgarischer Studierendenverein "Gryphon"

Do you share our vision of a united Europe in which there is no place for prejudice and indifference? Imagine you could make an important contribution to realizing this vision. We need your energy, ideas, and initiative to make a step towards achieving this goal together.

Do you feel addressed by this appeal? Then give us the opportunity to get to know you. We are a group of young Romanian and Bulgarian students who are convinced that a global community can only thrive on the basis of mutual trust, respect, and impartiality and that it is only authentic when the peculiarities of each country are appreciated and promoted. As cultural emissaries from our countries, we create space for intercultural exchange. We want to initiate a dialog between Romania and Bulgaria and contribute to the integration of both countries in the global community.

We organize numerous projects on political, economic, cultural, and societal topics. These projects include: Lecture series, Workshops, Exhibitions, Cultural evenings and trips, support and advising for Romanian and Bulgarian students ... and much more!

You don’t have to be Romanian or Bulgarian to join our group or participate in our projects. We are open for anyone with the will to help us realize these ideas. We meet every other Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Erbprinzenstr. 12, 1st floor (5 minutes from the „Stadttheater“); as the meetings are sometimes canceled, please send us an email in advance! See you soon!

Studenten für Christus

Studying isn’t the only thing that’s important in our lives. Relationships play a vital role, for example – with one’s family, one’s friends, and also with God. We believe that having a living and healthy relationship with God is the best and most liberating thing that can happen to a person. This is made possible by faith in Jesus Christ, the son of God.

One of Jesus’ central messages is that he says about himself: „I am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father [by that he means God] except through me“. That is a provocative statement! All human beings must find out for themselves whether Jesus can live up to this claim. None of us has ever seen Jesus, but we discover again and again that it is possible to experience his presence concretely in our lives.

As students of various fields of study, nationalities, and confessions, we strive to experience more of God and to grow in faith together by reading the Bible and sharing with each other. We also enjoy going out together and meeting to „chill with SfC.“ It doesn’t matter whether you believe in God or not – we welcome everyone who drops by and joins in. You are more than welcome!

We meet each Tuesday evening, alternating between smaller prayer groups (Hauskreis) which engage in exchange and prayer at a member’s house, and SfC-Abend with guest speakers and a relaxed discussion atmosphere in Breisacher Tor, Room 205 (Rempartstr. 4). For more information, visit www.sfc-freiburg.de. If you have any further questions or want to know about current events, please contact Colin! See you there!:)

Studentenmission in Deutschland (SMD)

We are students of various fields of study and confessions at the University, the University of Applied Sciences, the College of Education, and the Col-lege of Music. We come from various denominations and communities. What unites us is our faith in Jesus Christ. He is the focal point of our lives – he accompanies us and inspires our thoughts. We believe that being a Christian is neither tradition, fiction, ideology, nor self-deception, but rather: "Thinking - Believing - Experiencing".

If you want to get to know us, feel free to come to our:

• SMD evenings
  
• Prayer groups
  
• Weekend activities: hiking, games, sports & fun, movies, cooking...
  
• Free time
  
• Prayer meetings

You are welcome to come – whether you bring your doubts and questions or many years of experience with the Christian faith. Our SMD evenings provide an opportunity to reflect on the Bible and other topics, to meet each other and exchange ideas, to celebrate God with music, and of course to spend time together in a friendly atmosphere.

We meet once every two weeks on Thursdays at 7 p.m. at Löwenstraße 1. On the other Thursdays we meet in smaller prayer groups. For more infor-mation and a schedule, visit our homepage. If you have any further ques-tions, feel free to contact us directly.

w.e wealth exchange

w.e have a lot of goals. Perhaps the most important one is to celebrate life in an unconventional way! w.e go about this with art and music, old and young, man and nature. Another goal is to develop our talent. What kind of talent? A talent for treating ourselves and others to something special.

w.e can be understood as „wealth exchange,“ but w.e is also just „we“ or „wonder earth“ when we go hiking. And at our meetings w.e means „welcome everybody“!

w.e. take hikes, visit nursing homes with music and art, organize charity events to support various developmental projects, and engage in other projects. We can also give you general tips and tricks on life in Freiburg, since many of us are homegrown Freiburgers!

Visit our homepage to join w.e in celebrating life! We are grateful for every helping hand we can get! Just join us at our next event..
