Contemporary witness talk with Holocaust survivor Renate Aris as a central highlight of the Jewish Campus Week
Jewish Campus Weeks at the TUD
Jewish Campus Week 2025 - Visibility. Dialog. Empowerment.
Since its foundation in 2018, the Jewish Campus Week has stood for the strengthening of Jewish perspectives at German universities. From May 19 to 25, 2025, it will once again take place at over 15 university locations across Germany. The aim is to make Jewish life visible in all its diversity, promote encounters and create space for open exchange.
Organized by young people for young people, Campus Week brings students and university members together. The focus is on lectures, workshops and creative formats that deal with Jewish history, culture and the present in Germany. It is not just about information, but also about empowerment and about confidently introducing Jewish narratives into the university context.
The Jewish Campus Week sees itself as a platform against prejudices and stereotypes - and as an invitation to get to know Jewish realities of life beyond clichés.
The Jewish Campus Week 2025 is sponsored by the Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility, Future (EVZ).
