Events of the studierendenWERK Berlin
Events and activities for refugee students of the Centre for Student Refugees and other departments of studierendenWERK Berlin
You can find more events for international students here.
Our basic principles and rules of behaviour:
- Respect:
Each and every participant is respected regardless of origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, identity or ability. Respectful communication is the basis for dialogue in the SprachCafé.
- Mutual support:
Participants should help and encourage each other.
- Inclusivity:
Everyone is welcome. No one is excluded on the basis of language skills, cultural background or other personal characteristics. Different perspectives and experiences are seen as enriching.
- Freedom from discrimination:
Discrimination of any kind (racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, etc.) is not tolerated. Participants who make discriminatory comments will be addressed and asked to leave the event if their misbehaviour persists.
- Confidentiality:
Everything that is discussed during the event remains within the group. Personal information or stories will be kept confidential to ensure a sense of safety.
Anyone who experiences discrimination against themselves or others while participating in one of our events can contact the event management or the Centre For Student Refugees at studierendenWERK BERLIN at any time (StudentRefugees@stw.berlin). We take all complaints seriously and work with those affected to find solutions.

Participation costs
Our online programmes are generally free of charge. For most face-to-face events, we charge a nominal fee, which is not intended to cover the costs, but to increase the commitment to participate in the respective offer. However, this is not intended to exclude anyone from our programme. If it is difficult for you to raise the amount for the nominal fee, please send us an email to StudentRefugees@stw.berlin. We will then find a solution.
Paid training courses are explicitly labelled as such on the website. The participation fee is paid to the contractual partner Eveeno using the payment method selected during registration.
Feedback
Participants are given the opportunity to provide feedback after each programme. In addition, our organisation team can be contacted by email: StudentRefugees@stw.berlin.
