What is CampusConnect Freiberg?
The project brings international students into contact with interested members of the public who do not work or study at TUBAF.
It creates opportunities for intercultural encounters, learning and dialogue, for example:
- Intercultural tandem partnerships
- International students helping to lead lessons in schools
- Democracy cafés
- Networking events with stakeholders in the city and the surrounding area
Project duration
July 2026 – December 2028
Activities
16 October 2026: City Rally for New International Students
At the start of the 2026/27 winter term, CampusConnect Freiberg organised the ‘City Rally’ for new international students. This forms part of the orientation programme for international first-year students. Divided into groups, the participants walk from station to station through Freiberg’s city centre. At each stop, they have to answer questions or complete tasks. In doing so, the students get to know the 850-year-old mining town – their new home – better.
21 September 2026: Participation in the ‘Market of Diversity and Sustainability’
On 20 September 2026, Freiberg’s Schlossplatz was transformed into a vibrant hub of exchange and interaction during the ‘Market of Diversity and Sustainability on World Children’s Day’. The International Office at TU Bergakademie Freiberg was right at the heart of the action with six international students, inviting visitors to test their geographical knowledge and strike up a conversation with the students. The annual “Market of Diversity and Sustainability” is organised and hosted by the Freiberg AGENDA 21 association. Read more
