The Social Department of the General Students' Committee advises you on topics relating to student finance, financial difficulties, insurance, work, finding accommodation and all other things that complicate your life. The Social Department is in close contact with other counseling and support services and is often a good first point of contact for students. The Social Department is also responsible for allocating free tables. Together with the colleagues from the Equal Opportunities and International Affairs departments, we deal with inclusion, studying with children, anti-discrimination, and the representation and integration of international students.

Why is student participation so important, both for KIT and for students and their well-being? What added value does participation have? The BESSEr∂KIT project provides information on student involvement. Students gain insights into the processes of the committees and bodies at KIT and learn how and where they can become active and thereby also expand their skills and create a better KIT together.

The challenge in a world seemingly without alternatives and prone to crises is to step out of the usual patterns of thought and behavior. Why not do it differently? If you want to create a future that is open-ended, rich in alternatives and attractive for future generations, you can start on a small scale. The booklet " On Courage to Act: Challenges for Everyday Life” brings together numerous transfer exercises from the House of Competence. The exercises do not provide tools for self-optimization, but rather offers for self-reflection and self-determination. They are a kind of challenge: an encouragement to try things out - in the midst of everyday life.

The booklet, titled “Just Do It Differently” is a collection of texts and exercises from the House of Competence (HoC) program.
It offers opportunities for reflection that help break free from a fixation on problems and conflicts – in order not to resign in the face of repeated crises, but instead to grow, or even to surpass oneself. Or simply to find the right track in the first place.
