Tomorrow the registration for the 200€ one-off student support starts and you still don’t have a BundID?

No problem! Because no matter if you’re lacking an eID, an Elster-Certificate or you simply do not wish to share all your personal details with the overbearing „Bund“, using the PIN-Method, you can still register for the 200€!

AND HOW DOES THAT WORK?

Starting tomorrow, you can head to the TU Campus Portal to receive not only the registration code needed by EVERY student for the registration, you can additionally grab your personal PIN-Number. Using the „Username & Password“-Registration option on the bundID-Website, you can use the PIN to verify your existence. 

This way, you can get through the entire registration process tomorrow in one go without sharing all your information. 

Everyone ready to rumble? AWESOME!

LEt’s all celebrate that after a whopping 6 months we’ll finally be able to register for our fast, unbureaucratic and uncomplicated crisis support money and receive the relief … soon. We hope.  

Our digital international feminist fight week starts today. Every day we post content about (in)equality and sexism on Instagram (@astatudortmund).

There is also a super diverse program! You can find all the details here:

In 1910 a second International Conference of Working Women was held in Copenhagen. A woman named Clara Zetkin tabled the idea of an International Women’s Day. She proposed that every year in every country there should be a celebration on the same day – a Women’s Day – to press for their demands. 

It has been over 100 years and yet here we are, still fighting. Even though for some, March 8th has succumbed to a „here’s some flowers for you“-day, we as AStA, together with the QFR, MIQ and ABeR committee, keep the fight in our line of sight. 

Is there more equality than there was in 1910? Hell yeah! Thanks to the incredible efforts of many women and men who have understood the value of feminism and fought for it every day. But we’ve not reached peak yet, not while there are still things in the world like gender pay gaps, mental loads or the horrors of child marriages, genital mutilation or the outrageously high numbers of femicides. 

So we celebrate once more, with power and aggression, not just the international women’s fight day, but an entire week filled with events. 

We as AStA of TU Dortmund University stand united in the fight for the rights of ALL women, no matter where they are from, which religion (if at all) they subscribe to, under which circumstances they were born or what body they were born into. Each and every one of them deserves the world. 

FIGHT WITH US!

Relaxing with a beer while doing something for your body and soul? Yeah, we’re down for that and let’s be real, so are you. 

• WHEN?
  March 10th, 5PM
• WHERE? 
  AStA Offices

Take an hour out of your busy day to whip your mind back into shape before you tackle your next assignment. And all that with a cold brew, who doesn’t love that. 

Oh and bring a mat!

So done with q cards, research and uncomfortable library chairs? 

Come by the AStA offices to give our new bean bag chairs a whirl. On top of that, there’ll be board games for a mental break and to get to know new people and a tea making corner. 

When?
Monday to Friday, 10AM-1PM, all through March!

Good news!
