FHWconnect

FHWconnect in the next winter semester 2023/24

In the winter semester 2023/24, the mentoring program "FHWconnect" starts again to support international students and students with a refugee background.

The program’s goal is to support students with a refugee background and international students in their daily (student) lifes and gain new experiences through the mutual exchange.
With FHWconnect, you can decide on your own how much time you want to spend with each other and what you want to do.

As a Connector, you can volunteer to make a difference. Offer fellow students the chance to study at eye level with you. At the same time, you can develop yourself and make new contacts. As a Connectee, you are not only getting support, but you will also get to know new people and share your personal knowledge and experiences with your Connector.

Registration and further information:

In the Moodle course: International Office
By e-mail: FHWconnect(at)fh-westkueste.de
