Cultural Program
There are always a lot of things to do in Halle. Bar Nights, excursions, day trips, concerts and much more – the International Office and the Erasmus Student Network Halle (Saale) are there for you to help you familiarise yourselves with the city of Halle, its surroundings, and German culture.
Erasmus Student Network Halle (Saale)
ESN Halle (formerly known as "ERASMUS Life Halle") is a volunteer student organisation whose members are involved with services for exchange students. The aim of the initiative is to complement existing care services and to promote communication regarding the events and recreational programs. In particular ERASMUS students get the opportunity to get to know more German students, to participate in the activities of the Buddy-Program together with their tutors and to present various cultural events in their own culture and better understand the German way of life.
International "Stammtisch" (regulars' table)
Practicing language skills, gaining intercultural experience, and meeting new people from around the world!
This is what characterises our regulars' tables. Find out more about the different languages. LINK
Protestant Student and University Community Halle (ESG)
The Protestant Student Community offers events which include a wide range of subjects from natural sciences, humanities, and cultural areas, and opportunities for education and self-education to critical confrontation with questions of faith and pressing problems in society and the university. Political responsibility, faith, and sensitivity to social issues as well as meetings between German and foreign students dominate the community work.
All international students are welcome here. In the semester program of the university community, there are a number of events that are conducted specifically for and with international students. LINK
Catholic University Chaplaincy Halle (KSG)
No matter whether you are a student, a postgrad, an apprentice, or simply an open-minded young person: You are very welcome to join us, the Catholic University Chaplaincy in Halle (Katholische Studentengemeinde, short KSG). The Chaplaincy is open to everyone who is interested to talk about God and the world or simply wants to take a look beyond their own nose.
We invite young people from all over the world to be a part of our community and share food, faith, and culture.
Every Wednesday evening we celebrate Mass, have dinner, and enjoy community. Often, we have interesting people as guests for talks on and discussions about a variety of topics. At the Chaplaincy, you can rediscover, live, and develop your faith together with other young Christians. It is a place to meet people, to find friends, and to celebrate at. It is a place that can become home away from home. Welcome! more
