1) Adtendo
Adtendo e.V. is a student-led association and a University of Konstanz group that offers free psychosocial advice to refugees in the Konstanz area. The organisation makes sure that refugees have access to local leisure opportunities and/or professional institutions. Students working for the organisation have the opportunity to gain practical experience and contribute their own ideas. This is also how an arts and crafts workshop for children and teenagers housed in shared refugee accommodation came into being. Working for Adtendo counts as a transferable skill.

4) Café Mondial
Our university student organization strives to facilitate encounters between citizens and university students in Konstanz. In addition to taking part in project weeks, we organize educational events on topics such as flight and migration, feminism, democracy, religious diversity and social inequality. We also actively support people who have fled their homeland to find sanctuary in Germany by organising meetings in shared refugee accommodations. Finally, we aim to provide information to refugees who are interested in university studies. Further information is available at: https://cafe-mondial.org/
