EMERGE Living Library 

Stories of Freedom, Resilience, International Experiences, and Diversity

When: Wednesday, 6 May | 11:30–13:30 
Where: HEL 065, Europe Week 
Language: German, English

At the "EMERGE Living Library", you can learn more about stories from our students: instead of borrowing a book, you can borrow the time of a student and listen to their different stories of international experiences, freedom, diversity, and resilience.

This event is inspired by the concept of the Human Library. We have applied for an official partnership and are currently awaiting approval.

This event is part of Europe Week 2026 [60149].

Mindfulness Break

Thursday, 5 November 2026, 11:00–11:45
Campelle, Europa-Universität Flensburg

As part of the Intercultural & Diversity Festival, take a mindful break from the hustle and bustle of campus life.

Together, we will try simple seated and standing exercises to encourage relaxation, rest and awareness of the present moment, both individually and in connection with others.

Recharge your energy, find a little more lightness, and perhaps continue your day more mindfully.

Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to choose a mat and settle in. You are also warmly invited to enjoy a cup of tea in the Campelle before the session begins.

The session will be led by Dr. Carolin Ermer, carolin.ermer-PleaseRemoveIncludingDashes-@uni-flensburg.de Community Engagement EMERGE

Experience a joint time of mindful and relaxing exercises before you start your day.
Since space is limited, please save your spot before November 4th:
