In general, anyone is welcome to visit us and our events, regardless of their sexuality. It goes without saying that you should behave in a friendly and open manner. It is the duty of the event organisers to integrate every person into the group as well as possible.
However, there are individual target group-specific evenings that are only aimed at this particular group in order to minimise tensions and create a relaxed atmosphere. Whether an event is open or closed to outsiders will be announced.
Help is always needed somewhere in the Referat. Your knowledge and skills are essential for the existence of our organisation, as we are an association run by students for students. It is enough for you to attend the events, but you can also get involved in the organisation and take on specific tasks. The easiest way to do this is to turn up at the plenum and ask what is currently on the agenda and where help is needed.

We aim to create a friendly and open atmosphere in which everyone can feel comfortable. That’s why it would be good to engage with new people and integrate them into the group so that even those who are unsure can quickly overcome their fear of the unknown.
To achieve this, it is essential to ensure non-discriminatory and sensitive interaction. Of course, new visitors can’t know everything, many lack knowledge about queer topics – communication with each other is therefore important, especially speaking up if you feel uncomfortable or notice that others are being attacked or don’t feel good about themselves.
It would make sense to clarify this problem with the person concerned first. If this does not work and you feel severely restricted in your well-being, you can always contact the event organiser or the members of the board.
Yes, our Pink Fluffy Unicorn, PFU for short, is the referat’s own party, which we are trying to officially establish. We put a lot of love and heart and soul into it, and of course a lot of glittery fluff. Rumour has it that there’s even a real (pink) unicorn running around at the party.
