Studentenwerk Leipzig

Due to current situation, this option is no longer available, as the StuFaz will remain closed until further notice.

In StuFaz we have a reading corner with carefully chosen literature  on the subjects parenthood, family and education for local reading. We also have selected books for the kids. The reading corner is accessible when we have Open Rooms and when the writing lab takes place.

Due to current situation, this option is no longer available, as the StuFaz will remain closed until further notice.

You have your own ideas and you would like to share them with other student parents? You can use our rooms in StuFaz center for your projects/events on working days. Contact engelmann {{ätt}} studentenwerk-leipzig {{punkt}} de.

Studying with children presents special challenges for young parents. In particular, term papers and final theses, whose deadlines are initially "far away", often seem difficult to integrate into everyday life with a child. They are therefore often postponed in favour of short-term (household and child-related) tasks. Also finding time for exams preperation while organizing everyday life with a child can be difficult

In our workshop we will show you different possibilities of how you can use your time well and efficiently, not only despite the time restrictions caused by the children, but maybe even because of them.

In addition to some theoretical input, various ways of implementation will be tried out and discussed with the other participants.

In order to be able to apply the contents of the workshop immediately, the writing workshop of the StuFaz is open to you after the theoretical part. During this time you can also take advantage of the possibility of individual counselling by the counsellor of our Psychosocial Counselling Service.

You are welcome to bring your children. However there is no childcare on site - the children will be present during the workshop.

It is possible to either take part in both theory courses or to be present only in the morning or afternoon.

• 9.00-09.15 a.m.: arrival
• 9.30-11.00 a.m.: theoretical input
• 11.00 a.m.-12.30 p.m.: writing time and implementation of the input/individual counselling

We are happy to advise you individually around the subject of "Studying with children". Your partner and child are also welcome. Our advice covers your personal and family as well as your financial situation and supports you in finding the best possible solution.
