PIASTA

Team

Welcome to the PIASTA team!

PIASTA’s diverse and extensive services are made possible each semester by the joint commitment of a large team.

While the coordination team and the management keep an overview, the student tutors, the volunteer and native-speaking language café coordinators, and the freelance trainers organize the many PIASTA events—during Welcome Week alone, that is around 90 events for 2,000 first-year students every October.

“Together with our team of intercultural tutors, we organize not only a diverse program of cultural events and leisure activities during the semester but also international nights, where we focus on a new exciting topic each time. It is important to us that you have the opportunity to meet new people, get to know diverse perspectives, and network.”

Seminars and workshops

Julian Michel

“We offer exciting seminars in which you can learn how to give better presentations or how to think about and deal with racism critically. Whether in peer-to-peer workshops or led by experienced trainers and tutors, you are sure to learn about these topics and grow beyond yourself. An added bonus is that the 2-day diversity training courses are recognized as Component A of the Certificate Intercultural Competence (CIC).”

Language cafés and language tandems

Julian Michel

“We will turn you into a language talent! Our team and our volunteer language café coordinators do everything they can to make speaking the host-country language during your next Erasmus semester child’s play. In our language cafés and language tandems, we offer as many languages as possible. Your dream of speaking French fluently or rolling your Rs in Spanish will come true sooner than you think.”
