Leisure activities
It is our aim to enable you to enjoy a diverse cultural life alongside your studies at your place of study. To this end, we offer and support a range of leisure activities.
Cross-cultural events
The Studierendenwerk Thüringen organises three intercultural event series at the locations Erfurt, Weimar, and Jena. These events take place weekly during the lecture period and offer you the opportunity to experience internationality at first hand. You are invited to learn about different cultures and people, listen to interesting lectures and share your own experiences, taste typical food or take part in traditional dances. The entrance is always free of charge.

Students' Clubs
The Studierendenwerk Thüringen provides twelve students' clubs in Thuringia with rent-free rooms. Thus, these clubs can offer you favourable entrance fees and culinary options as well as a varied cultural programme. In addition, the staff of the cultural offices are available to provide the clubs with advice and assistance. Feel free to drop by - as a guest and as a member. The clubs are always on the lookout for motivated contributors.
International Centre Jena
To promote the integration and participation of international students, the International Centrum for International Students was established in the ‘Haus auf der Mauer’ (House on the Wall). This centre offers international students support and assistance with problems in everyday student life, their studies and language issues, and promotes exchange between different cultures. It is a contact point and meeting place offering a wide range of advisory services and a place of cultural encounter for international and German fellow students from both universities in Jena.
The International Centrum Jena is a cooperation project of the Friedrich-Schiller-University and the Ernst-Abbe-UAS Jena, the two student councils, the city of Jena and the Studierendenwerk.
