Profile

The ASH Newcomer Office Team is the first point of contact for all international newcomers at the Alice Salomon Hochschule Berlin and is there for you before and during your studies as well as when you start your career in Germany.

We are a team of student employees, social workers, a coordinator and head of the office. Our team is composed of colleagues who have experienced racism in their own lives and in some cases had to leave their country of origin, as well as colleagues who have not experienced racism in their own person and have no experience of flight.

We share the common attitude of orienting our (counseling) work towards a practice that is critical of discrimination and participatory.

Our aim is to make counselling, support and empowerment for international newcomers visible and accessible. We also offer our own programmes, language formats, consultation hours, workshops and events.
