New initiative: hejDAD Fathers’ Campus – More space for fatherhood
Being a dad whilst also working, conducting research, teaching or studying – it can all feel like a lot at times. That’s exactly why our university is launching the hejDAD FATHERS’ CAMPUS this October: a cross-university, digital programme for fathers.
Online workshops, interactive talks and digital campus ‘campfires’ invite you to engage in conversation with one another – in a practical, confidential setting, exclusively for fathers and on an equal footing, addressing the topics that are often neglected in everyday family and university life.
In a nutshell: Registration opens on 15 September 2026; Start date: 1 October 2026; Participation: free of charge for fathers at the University of Oldenburg
