An evening that creates closeness

Four topics that affect many directly
Bochum Connect bundles experiences that often coexist in everyday life: the feeling of being an outsider, the search for orientation in jobs, dealing with discrimination, and the question of how individuals can become a sustainable community. This targeted approach makes the format so strong: approachable, relevant, and with real added value for international students in the city.

Sustainability Center as a lively meeting point
The event takes place in a new space for sustainable projects, workshops, and participation. The Sustainability Center is designed as an open space in Bochum's city center and offers room for exchange formats such as lectures, actions, and creative participation. This is particularly fitting for this community talk: The environment supports a calm, focused, and yet connecting event experience.
