Awareness consultation hour
Awareness work means much more than just providing awareness officers at events. It should be taken into account during the planning stage, in internal team dynamics, in communication between participants, and in public relations work.
To support you in this, Nina Bartholomé (project manager at UNSER CAMPUS) offers weekly awareness consultation hours via Zoom on Mondays from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., where you can address your questions and challenges or receive guidance on awareness processes.
Here you can receive advice and support on topics such as:
- Awareness in the planning and implementation of events in a university context
- Diversity-sensitive and inclusive event promotion
- Development of awareness concepts and measures
- Internal team and group processes, communication, and team development
- General questions and challenges related to awareness
You can find the next dates and registration here. Outside of consultation hours or if you have further questions, you can reach us at any time at unsercampus@rub.de.

Awareness-Pool
Are you planning an event and would like to have awareness people on site, but don’t know where to find them and need help finding them? No problem! Over the last few semesters, we have built up a student awareness pool from the people who have completed our awareness workshops. There are currently over 50 students in this pool and we will be happy to forward your request to them. You can simply send us the following information by email to unsercampus@rub.de:
- For which event are you looking for people and who is the organizer? Does the event take place in a specific setting?
- Where, on what date and at what times does the event take place? Are you planning to work in shifts?
- How many people are you looking for/need (possibly per shift)?
- What is the fee per hour (minimum wage)?
Please understand that we will only forward requests that provide for financial remuneration of the awareness persons.
Awareness networking meeting for Ruhr-University Bochum students
In close cooperation with the student councils, the project OUR CAMPUS – against sexism at Ruhr University Bochum! and the Equal Opportunities Office have developed a handout dedicated to the topic of awareness in the planning and organization of student-organized events. From this process and the awareness workshops in the summer semester 2024, interest has arisen in further networking between students on the topic of awareness at Ruhr University. This networking meeting will take place on October 27, 2025 from 3 pm to 4:30 pm. Interested parties can register here.
Awareness-Workshops for Students
To accompany the awareness handout, we offer awareness workshops for members of the student councils in which the contents of the handout are discussed in greater depth.
In order to implement the theoretical contents of the “Awareness handout for student-organized events at Ruhr University Bochum” in practical student council work, we have developed a two-part workshop format for you.
The workshops in the Winter term 2025/2026 will take place on 18.11.2025 and 02.12.2025, both from 14-19pm. If you are interested, you can register here.
Awareness handout for student-organized events at the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB)
In a cooperation of “UNSER CAMPUS”, of the Central Equal Opportunities Office and the student councils, an “Awareness handout for student-organized events at the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB)” has been created. This is now available for download here in German and English. The handout intends to help students (e.g. in student councils) who organize events to develop and successfully implement an awareness concept. If you have any questions or comments, please send us an e-mail!
You can download the handout in German and English here:
Awareness at the start-of-semester party
OUR CAMPUS also helped to establish and implement awareness measures at the AKAFÖ’s semester kick-off party.
The cultural bureau BOSKOP of the AKAFÖ organizes a semester start party every semester, maybe you have already been there?
We are delighted about the cooperation with BOSKOP and the opportunity to also provide the SemesterStartParty with information on awareness and thus make it a little safer.
In addition to various notices with e.g. bus and train times or cab numbers, you will also find various flyers with information on consensus and knockout drops. You can also download them here in German, we are currently working on the English versions.

We also produced three short videos together with Anna Beckmann from the cultural bureau BOSKOP. You can find them on our Instagram profile.
