Become a Mentee!
You are from abroad, at the beginning of your studies in Marburg, are looking for support and contacts?
Additionally, you would you like to learn more about intercultural communication and are motivated and willing to participate in workshops?
Participate as a mentee in the MarMento & Buddy Program! As a new international student, you can be supported for one semester by mentors or buddies in challenges relevant to your studies and everyday life. For an easier arrival at the university and in Marburg!
How can I participate?
After your registration, you will be matched with your buddy or mentor. Together you will agree on the frequency of your meetings or the aspects that you would like to work on together. Every student has different needs and expectations and therefore, every match is different. Your buddy or mentor might be willing to pick you up from the airport or show you his or her favorite spots in Marburg, you might study together, visit events, practice your German skills or just occasionally have coffee together. (Please also be aware that there might be more mentees than mentors or buddies so the program can unfortunately not guarantee a match.)
Additionally, you can participate in a an eMarMento course to facilitate a lasting learning process, strengthen your intercultural skills and receive a confirmation of participation. Or you can take it easy with your buddy as a supporting companion throughout the semester full of intercultural exchange.
