It's that time again: The long-awaited HopE is happening once more this winter – and you can be part of it!

"Long-awaited HopE?" What the frick is a hOpE?"

HopE – this is our “university political introductory seminar”!

A whole weekend in the Eifel, together with students from all fields of study. You can look forward to exciting workshops that will provide you with valuable insights into university politics and important soft skills.

In addition to the workshops, you can also look forward to plenty of leisure activities and opportunities to meet new people. Sounds exciting, right?

But what exactly can you expect in the workshops? This year, everything revolves around the central theme:

"Why should students get involved / What is the purpose of committee work?"

Here’s a little preview:

Committee structure – The key to university politics!

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes at the university and how you can have a say? In the workshop "Committee Structure," you'll learn everything about the committees where you can get involved. It’s a unique glimpse into the world of university politics – and who knows, it might just be the starting point for your engagement!

Simulations – Experience university politics in a fun way!
Do you want to experience firsthand how meetings and decisions in university politics work, but with a bit of fun? Then our simulations are just right for you! In a relaxed and playful setting, you'll get to know the processes of committee work:

• SP-Simulator: Here, you'll dive into a simulation of a student parliament meeting. Discuss, vote, and shape the agenda – just like in a real student parliament!
• LAT-Simulation: Have you ever heard of the State Student Council Meeting? Here, you can experience in a simulation how university political topics are discussed at the state level and what decisions are made there.

Market of Opportunities – Workshops that provide you with skills for life!
In addition to the political workshops and simulations, we also offer relaxed and practical workshops, known as MoOs. These help you develop general skills that are useful both in your studies and beyond – and they’re a lot of fun! We don’t want to give too much away, so you’re warmly invited to join the workshops in person!
Please note: All Workshops will be held in German!

The HopE itself will take place from November 29, 2024, to December 1, 2024, in a youth hostel in the Eifel. The registration period is open until November 18, 2024.
