SeniorCitizens

New: SeniorMentors

The community of our SeniorCitizens contributes to campus diversification through assisting international guest researchers of the University and their families. Our SeniorCitizen community receives support from the International Office (kompass and U Bremen Research Alliance Welcome Center) and the Academy for Continuing Education. These establish contact with students and researchers and assist SeniorCitizens with event and activity coordination.

With this program the SeniorCitizens support international students in Bremen as a mentor.

For foreign students it can be tough to find their way in Bremen and the university when they begin their studies. The SeniorMentors can give them advice and be an experienced, elderly attachment figure. For students whose families live abroad this can be an enriching experience. They experience social integration and support in terms of content so they can study successfully.

The program is carried out in cooperation with kompass international.
