Intercultural involvement
We at PIASTA are always looking for motivated people who want to get involved on a voluntary basis. Join our team!
Language cafés
Are you interested in helping your fellow students learn a language? Volunteer to be a coordinator and lead one of our language cafés! Your task is to get conversations going, help participants to find the right words, and create a relaxed atmosphere. It is a great opportunity to get involved in making campus life more international and opens the door to the field of language teaching. Coordinating a language café can also be recognized as part of the Certificate Intercultural Competence.
Are you interested in volunteering as a language café coordinator and creating a relaxed environment for language learning?

Language tandem
PIASTA language tandems provide 2 students with an opportunity to teach each other their native languages. Participating in a language tandem is an opportunity to develop your language skills while also getting to know new people and learn about a culture of another country.
Successful participation in a language tandem may also be recognized as Component C: International Campus of the Certificate Intercultural Competence.

PIASTA Welcome Buddy Program
We warmly welcome all international students—with the PIASTA Welcome Buddy Program!
Are you already a student at Universität Hamburg and know your way around the campus and the city?
If so, we encourage you to sign up to be a Welcome Buddy for new international students!
As a Welcome Buddy, you are the first personal contact for a new international student and thus provide them with valuable support. You can also gain new experience, make new contacts, and participate in PIASTA activities alongside other buddies.

If you have any questions, just send an email to: piasta-buddy"AT"uni-hamburg.de
Tip: If you would like to obtain the Certificate Intercultural Competence (CIC) at Universität Hamburg, volunteering as a Welcome Buddy can be recognized as Component C.
