Hands On! - Active in your studies
Would you like to become active alongside your studies, but don't yet know where and how? Then you have the opportunity to find out on 1 July 2025 from 12 noon!
At the "Hands On!" fair in the courtyard in front of the G-building, numerous groups, initiatives and organisations will be presenting themselves where you can volunteer - both directly at the university and beyond. You can find out more about voluntary work in direct dialogue and get the opportunity to get involved yourself.
Whether education, social affairs, environment, culture or politics - there is something for everyone!
The fair offers you the perfect opportunity to make contacts without any obligation, have a relaxed exchange and perhaps find your future volunteer position. Your commitment can not only help others, but also strengthen your own skills, create new perspectives and be your first work experience.

Important Changes in the AStA Stadtcampus
🚨 Important changes in the Study Space!
🔐 Locking system update: Since 01.04.25 your DeliCard no longer works for access to the AStA Stadtcampus. Get your new access card at the Stadtcampus office (Königsplatz 1, 6th floor) or at the AStA Copyservice (ME U 205), both during their opening hours.
🚷 Construction site in front of the entrance? Unfortunately yes.�Unfortunately, the main entrance on the ground floor has not been usable for some time. Therefore, please use the new entrance on the 2nd floor - directly above the old entrance. An explanatory video on how to get there will follow in our story in the coming days!
Thank you for your understanding and good luck with your studies! 💼📚
Facts vs. fakes - debating with right-wingers and conspiracy believers
Do you know this situation? You're sitting at the table with friends, fellow students or your family and suddenly a heated discussion arises that is dominated by slogans and you simply don't know what to say in response.
We want to help you stay able to speak in such moments. To this end, we at the AStA are offering a workshop that deals specifically with right-wing slogans, conspiracy myths and populist statements. In this workshop, you will be given tools to argue confidently and effectively in precisely such moments of uncertainty.
Speaker Chiara Throner will show you how to recognize right-wing and conspiracy ideology statements - and how to counter them with confidence. It's not just about theory: we'll work with tried-and-tested debating strategies and look at what research has to say about them. So feel free to register!
🗓️ June 20, 2025 🕙 10:00-17:00
📍 gwlb - vault under the Marienplatz
👥 Places are limited to 25 - so register quickly! Register via this link!
AStA Poetry Slam
As part of the AStA Poetry Slam 2025, you will have the opportunity to develop your own literary texts during a two-day workshop and prepare for a possible performance. You can then compete against each other on a voluntary basis and win a prize.
The workshops will take place on May 27 and June 3 from 16:30 to 20:30 in the Gewölbekeller and will be led by August Klar, a freelance musician, cabaret artist, poetry slammer and workshop leader. He will guide you through the text creation process, offer individual support and teach basic techniques for linguistic design and performative realization.
At the final poetry slam in the Audimax on 12 June at 20:00 (admission: 19:30), you can then perform your creative texts in front of an audience. The evening will be opened by the rapping singer-songwriter Simon Slomma.
To register for the two workshops, please send an email to by 26.5. To secure a ticket for the competition, simply click on this link.

Day of action against racism
Racism is not just an individual problem, but is often deeply rooted in the structures of our society - including in institutions such as universities. It doesn't always manifest itself openly, but it works through systematic discrimination, exclusion and a lack of representation. Racism does not just begin with insults - it begins where structures exclude people.
This year, as part of the “Day of Action against Racism” on 29.04.2025, we want to explicitly address forms of institutional racism.
We will start with action stands in the library foyer in cooperation with the Equal Opportunities Office and the Vice Dean for Sustainability, Equality and Diversity of the Faculty of Cultural Studies and the Center for Gender Studies at Paderborn University. Here you can expect various offers, hands-on formats and information material on the topic of racism.
When: 11 am - 2 pm
Where? Library foyer
Afterwards, there will be a workshop on the topic of “Recognizing and deconstructing racism”. We want to discuss together how intercultural, culturally sensitive coexistence can succeed.
When: 2-5 p.m.
Where? H 2
Finally, there will be a panel discussion on the topic of “institutional racism”. We will talk to Sabine Adelio (ZfS), Ariana Noory (ASV), Dr. Denise Büttner (DaF/DaZ) and Evans Gumbe (TH Lübeck) about how racism manifests itself in the university as an institution and what effects this has on students.
When: 6-8 p.m.
Where? Atelier im Silo (S.1.100)
We look forward to seeing you!
New locking system in the AStA Stadtcampus
Dear students,
On 01.04.2025, the electronic locking system in the AStA Stadtcampus will be replaced by a more modern system, as the current system is outdated and is no longer being developed. As a result, the DeliCard will lose its function as an access card.
From March 31st, you can activate yourself during the respective opening hours at the AStA Stadtcampus office (Königsplatz 1, 6th floor) and at the AStA Service office at the university (ME U 205) and have a new access card issued. We take a €5 deposit for the card. The self-service terminal will be switched off.
Important note: Due to the renovation work, the AStA Stadtcampus will be closed from 24.03. to 30.03.2025.
You can find the opening hours below. Further information and impressions of the AStA Stadtcampus can be found here.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us! Please use our feedback form.
Best regards
Your Stadtcampus team
