We are a group of students who have set out to integrate Low German into our everyday university life. To this end, we founded the Low German Forum in October 2023, which meets weekly during term time to share ideas.

We see this forum as an opportunity to connect Low German speakers and those interested in the language at our university. We want to give you the chance to use the language and raise its profile on campus. To this end, we discuss various topics in Low German (or Standard German) in a relaxed atmosphere, such as Low German in literature, theatre, language policy or on social media – or completely different topics that simply happen to be on our minds at the time. We also try to organise our own projects and events at our university.

All Low German speakers and anyone interested in establishing contact with the language who enjoys getting involved are very welcome to join us!

We are a group of students who have set themselves the task of getting Dutch into our university everyday life. That's why we founded the Dutch Forum in October 2023. Every two weeks, we will be working on a joint project in the lecture theatre.

We see this forum as an opportunity to bring together learners and students who are interested in Dutch at our university. We want to give you the opportunity to actively use the language and get to know it. In our forum, we talk in a comfortable atmosphere about various topics in Platt (but also in German), literature, theatre, language policy and social media - but also about other topics that occupy us on an hourly basis. But we also try to rethink the end of projects and events.

We welcome all plattsnackers/platters and people who would like to come into contact with the language and enjoy getting involved in it!
