Is there something else on your mind, or would you like some advice on how or where to solve a particular problem?
Feel free to contact our representative for international students and we will find a solution together: susanne.hermann[at]dhbw.de 

Since the 2025/26 winter semester, the DHBW has been offering free, cross-location online German courses at several levels several times a week. Before participating in the course, an assessment of your current German level is required.

Would you like to take part in the German courses or receive further information? Please contact susanne.hermann[at]dhbw.de for more details.

This workshop is open to all international students at the DHBW who experience discrimination or racism in their everyday life, studies or workplace, or who feel unsure how to understand and classify certain situations and would like to exchange experiences.

The aim of the workshop is to offer you and the other participants a space to talk about your experiences and challenges, ask questions, and develop ways of dealing with discrimination and racism in your lives.

Together, we will explore:

• how to recognise discrimination and racism in everyday life, at university and at work,
• which rights, contact points and support services are available to you,
• how you can respond in difficult situations,
• and what you can do in everyday life to protect and support yourself and others.

The workshop combines short theoretical input with interactive exchange and self-reflection.

To participate, a stable internet connection and a laptop or computer are required.
