04.09.2024 MarMento - Mentoring for International Students is looking for You

(c): colourbox.de

Do you also believe that studying becomes easier when people give each other tips? Do you know the good feeling of having helped someone with information that you didn't have yourself before? Or maybe you're new here at the university and feel a bit lost? Would you like to make new contacts and get some support? Would you like to learn more about intercultural communication processes and discover and develop new potentials? 

Then MarMento is the right place for you! Become a mentor or mentee in the MarMento Program!

The program is aimed at experienced students in higher semesters as well as new international students.

At MarMento, Mentors support their new fellow students from abroad (mentees) in challenges that are relevant to their studies and everyday life, thus facilitating their arrival at the university and in Marburg. The program is directly linked to participation in a study course (for mentors) or participation in accompanying workshops (for mentees).

In this way, mentees and mentors can strengthen their own intercultural skills, explore and shape the university campus and find contacts and inspiration.

 Target group: Students from higher semesters as mentors. New students from abroad who spend their entire studies in Marburg as mentees.
