The gristuf.-Team
All members of gristuf e.V. work on a voluntary basis to make a difference in our beautiful city. That's why we welcome every new idea and, above all, every new face! Just come to our next meeting on Wednesday at 8 p.m. at STRAZE (Stralsunder Str. 10)! By the way, we have the following two principles that will immediately dispel any concerns you may have about joining us!
- It goes without saying that you will be trained in detail and with a lot of patience by the “old hands.” We are happy to pass on our experience and knowledge to you, because we were once “beginners” too.
- Each member can do as much and take on exactly the tasks that they can manage and want to do. Coercion is stupid! Due to our diverse activities, it has proven extremely useful to form teams dedicated to the tasks at hand (such as organizing Running Dinner or Fête de la Musique). When preparing and implementing international student festivals, we have found that it works best to form five groups:
Topic
The Topic Group is responsible for the thematic design of the festival. Among other things, it organizes workshops and public lectures. If you would like to explore socially relevant topics in depth, then join the Topic Group!
Culture
The Culture Group organizes the festival's diverse cultural events. Its activities range from registering a bar with the city, to advertising and supporting artists, to setting up music and lighting equipment. So if you've always wanted to lend a hand or bring a band to Greifswald, then the Culture Group is the right place for you.
Public Relations (PR)
The PR group is responsible for the association's public relations work. It distributes information about all our events via the Internet, flyers, posters, newspapers, radio, and television, among other channels. So if you want to learn how to design stylish flyers or manage a website, or if you already know how to do these things, the PR group would love to have you join them!
Finance
The finance group draws up a financing plan and coordinates the financial security of the festival. The group establishes contacts with sponsors and supporters and maintains constant communication with them. So if you are interested in submitting applications and managing the available funds wisely, then this group is just right for you! Don't worry, you can count on our experience and support!
Participants
The Participants Group is responsible for advertising and supporting international participants. This includes providing meals and accommodation for participants with Greifswald residents (hosts). If you would like to have close contact with international students and support them on their way to Greifswald, then join the Participants Group!
Other Activities
In addition to these groups, there are numerous other opportunities to get involved. For example, you could take care of our website, help out with logistics, or organize snacks (don't worry, not the main meals) for the participants during breaks. So if you don't feel like joining a specific group, there are still plenty of other things you can do to suit your interests.
