CampusENGEL EMERGE Ambassadors at Europa-Universität Flensburg

Sometimes, all it takes is an open door to help someone start a new chapter in life.

Every semester, many students, especially international students, arrive in Flensburg looking for a place to call home. Perhaps you have a spare room, a small apartment, or temporary accommodation that you would be willing to offer.

By sharing your accommodation, you are doing more than helping someone find a place to live, you are helping a young person settle into life in Flensburg and feel welcome from the very beginning.

Die CampusEngel EMERGE Ambassadors 

A New Local Initiative for Flensburg

Do you have a spare room and would appreciate occasional support with everyday tasks?

Or are you a student looking for affordable accommodation and willing to contribute your time and skills in return?

To help address the housing shortage in Flensburg and create meaningful connections between people, local stakeholders are currently exploring the development of a "Wohnen für Hilfe" (Housing for Help) pilot project in Flensburg and the district of Schleswig-Flensburg.

The idea is simple: people with available living space can offer accommodation to students or other suitable participants, while the residents provide agreed support in everyday life. This may include help with shopping, gardening, household tasks, digital devices, language practice, childcare, or companionship. Nursing and personal care services are excluded.

Important Information

Please note that this is a local Flensburg pilot initiative. It is independent of the "Wohnen für Hilfe" programme operated by Studentenwerk Schleswig-Holstein in Kiel, and there is currently no cooperation between the two projects.

The Flensburg initiative is being developed specifically to respond to local housing needs and community interests.

How Could It Work?

• Accommodation providers offer a room or living space.
• Students provide agreed support in return.
• Both parties jointly decide what assistance is needed and what can be offered.
• Any future matching process would be based on individual needs, expectations, and compatibility.

Examples of Support

• Shopping and errands
• Gardening
• Household assistance
• Language practice and tutoring
• Help with digital devices and technology
• Childcare (by individual agreement)
• Social interaction and companionship

Pilot Phase – Expressions of Interest

The project is currently in its exploratory pilot phase. We are gathering expressions of interest from both accommodation providers and students to assess whether a sustainable Housing for Help network can be established in Flensburg.

If you would like to offer accommodation, participate as a student, or simply receive more information, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Together, we can create affordable housing opportunities, strengthen community connections, and make better use of existing living space.

Are you looking for affordable accommodation and willing to contribute your time and skills in return?

As part of the Housing for Help (Wohnen für Hilfe) pilot project, we aim to connect students with people who have available living space. Instead of paying full rent, participants may provide agreed support in everyday life, such as household assistance, gardening, shopping, help with digital devices, language practice, or other mutually agreed activities.

If you are interested in becoming part of the pilot project, please complete the form below and send it to campusengel@uni-flensburg.de. We will record your interest and keep you informed about the next steps.

Please note that submitting the form does not guarantee accommodation. During the pilot phase, we are collecting expressions of interest and exploring opportunities to create suitable housing partnerships.
