The Foreign Students' Working Group is a group of foreign and German students at TU Bergakademie Freiberg. It is a working group of the Students' Council and the Local Erasmus Initiative (LEI) and cooperates closely with the Alexander von Humboldt International University Centre. We see ourselves as a point of contact for our foreign fellow students.

The AKAS aims to promote the integration of foreign students at the university and the exchange between foreign and German students. One focus of its work is cultural support for international students. It organizes various events, such as the Festival of Cultures, excursions, and much more. Foreign students can make an active contribution by presenting their home countries, their culture, or the history of their country, for example.

He meets regularly to plan the next activities but also to discuss problems faced by foreign students at university and in everyday life. He also tries to mediate in conflict situations.

Activities

Excursions

The AKAS always organizes various excursions during the semester. Every semester, for example, it travels to Berlin and organizes regular hiking trips to Saxon Switzerland.

Sport

As sport also brings people from different backgrounds together, we at AKAS organize a number of sporting events during the semester. These include volleyball and football tournaments as well as cozy bowling evenings.

Running Dinner

At this type of dinner, several teams cook for each other in their flats and shared flats. Get to know lots of new people in one evening and, thanks to the many international students, dishes from a wide variety of countries.

Language programs

As part of the project "Language is a bridge", which is organized by ACATRAIN e.V., we would like to help our international students to arrive in Germany in terms of language.

Festival of cultures

The Festival of Cultures takes place annually in November and is the largest intercultural event in Freiberg. The festival brings together residents of the district of Central Saxony, many of whom come from different cultural backgrounds.

In addition to food from all over the world, there is a stage program lasting several hours in which singers, dancers, and actors show off their skills.

Every year, many international students and doctoral students take part in the festival, whether as cooks, bakers, or artists on stage.

The festival is organized by the "One World and Integration" working group of the Freiberger Agenda 21 association and run by many volunteers.
