“Wave breakers" - in Corona times this means for many a conscious and sensible renunciation of contacts, but also a renunciation of many things that make Advent and the Christmas season so special. The approaching shutdown is additionally a particularly challenging time, sometimes also a very lonely time, precisely because of the many hours spent at home. In addition, due to current restrictions, some of our students and employees are unable to celebrate Christmas with their families; either because they live in other countries/regions or out of protection for their own environment. As in the previous year, the Department of University Culture therefore wants to relaunch the Christmas Conversation Partner:in mediation. Last year, over 30 people were connected in this way.

You can register via the contact form by 15 December and will find out on 16 December with whom you can enter into an exchange over the shutdown. All TUD members are invited to participate across all groups and to be "TUD Together instead of Lonely".

You can find more offers for actions, networking and help from the Studentenwerk, the state capital Dresden and other groups on this project page
