We are the intercultural student assembly of the TU Dortmund. We are an accumulation of active students and stand for diversity. Our aim is to offer a platform on which we can come together and exchange ideas and have discussions about diverse topics. We take it as a goal to create a safe space for everyone and want to realize cultural exchange as a means to provide our best to becoming a more open and liberal society.
UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, was founded in 1946 and works all over the world to realize the rights of all children, regardless of their skin color, religion or origin. In Germany, Unicef has been active since 1953. It includes more than 8,000 volunteers.
The UNICEF University Group Dortmund was founded in 2005 and has been a registered university group of the TU since the end of 2006. Our team consists of people between 16 and 30 years of age with very different backgrounds. Some of us have just started studying, some are already writing their thesis, others have been working for a few years or are still in school.
We provide information about the situation of disadvantaged children worldwide and seek dialog with the public – through talks, information booths, school visits, exhibitions or press work. We also use creative campaigns to collect donations, since UNICEF is financed by voluntary donations.
We meet regularly to plan activities and exchange information and new ideas. Everyone can decide for himself or herself how much time and energy he or she can contribute and how to get involved – in fundraising campaigns, in school work or in selling UNICEF greeting cards. Furthermore, you can acquire additional knowledge for your volunteer work in conferences and workshops. Our own Internet platform also offers working materials and promotes the exchange of information among volunteers throughout Germany.
In this way, we can make a lot of difference together – for example, giving more children access to education such as going to school and ensuring that more children can be vaccinated, which can help stem the spread of many diseases. All in all, through our involvement we can help create greater awareness that children are personalities with rights of their own.
If you would like to volunteer or simply have a question, feel free to send us an email. We are looking forward to you!

We
are a group of students from the Technical University of Dortmund who
just enjoy writing – from short stories and poems to blogs and
novel-length projects. Our official language within the group is English
in order to open it to any student of our uni. However, we basically
write in any language which we think fits the individual story best… So
if you like to write or would like to get into it, if you are looking
for feedback or simply people to share your passion with, feel free to
stop by.
We, the AStA-Theater-AG of the TU Dortmund University, focus on improvised theater under the name inTUition. The plays we perform are created in the moment, through random input from the audience – a location, a first sentence, an everyday feat. So each of our stories is unique, unfolding as action-packed or absurd, funny or heart-wrenching.
To do this, we hold rehearsals every Wednesday from 6:00 pm – 7:45 pm, and you are invited to attend as well. There we will work out methods that will help us to improvise theater scenes spontaneously. We will play a lot of theater, discuss our scenes together, and above all: have a lot of fun without having to prepare much. The offer is aimed at absolute beginners and experienced actors alike. Participation is free of charge and can be regular or irregular. So: dare to jump on stage and let yourself be surprised where the scene will lead!
Script Theater: a group for traditional scripted theater does not currently exist. If you are interested, please write to us anyway – if there are several people interested, we can put you in touch with each other.
Note: Our rehearsals are happening in German language only. If you are interested in English theater, please write to us anyway – if there are several people interested, we can put you in touch with each other.
The Uni-Film-Club is a university cinema by students for students. Even though our members come from a wide variety of disciplines, we are united by our enthusiasm for films and the cinema atmosphere. But also the taste in movies is very different. From James Bond fans to friends of various genres to lovers of surrealistic works of art, everything is represented. We therefore strive, also a little selfishly, to offer the right program for every taste.
During our cinema screenings, we offer snacks and drinks at student-friendly prices. The offer ranges from beer and coke, chips and gummi bears to the classic popcorn.
During the lecture period you can find us every Wednesday evening at 8:15 pm in lecture hall 1 of EF50. Once a month we also show a movie in the original version (usually in English).
You can find out what exactly we are showing on our website or via social media.
The Working Group for Human Rights is open to all those who wish to campaign for the protection of human rights worldwide. We contribute to human rights education, draw public attention to human rights violations and campaign at the highest level for the elimination of abuses. To this end, we organize information stands and events, such as film evenings at the Dortmunder Auslandsgesellschaft or the “Human Rights Slam” at Subrosa. We also collect signatures for the release of non-violent political prisoners. In order to maintain our neutrality, we concentrate on reports of human rights violations abroad. Exceptions to this are, for example, the topics of flight and asylum. Overall, we are closely aligned with the aims and methods of Amnesty International, from which we also obtain our information and material. (However, we are also happy to work with other organizations). In fact, the Human Rights Working Group was previously known as the Amnesty International University Group.
We meet every first Tuesday (7pm) and every third Thursday (8pm) of the month respectively in the Amnesty-Office Dortmund, Siegfriedstraße 12, 44137 Dortmund. Come along, we look forward to seeing you!
