Registration as a MATE

MyMATE - Sign me up!

You would like to support a new international Master's student starting at UdK Berlin? Wonderful! We just need some information about you, which will hopefully allow us to match you with a new student from your degree programme.

Your personal data will only be stored for the purposes of the MyMATE programme and only for the duration of your involvement with MyMATE.

We will pass on the most important information about you (name, degree programme, semester) as well as your contact details (email, phone number) to your MATE so that you can communicate with each other.

We will try to find a MATE for you from the same or a similar course of study. However, we cannot guarantee this.

CALL TO ACTION

+++DEMO FÜR UNSER SEMESTERTICKET IN BERLIN UND BRANDENBURG+++

+++Am 16.09. um 11 Uhr vor dem VBB-Hauptsitz am Ostbahnhof+++

Liebe*r Studi,

du hast es bestimmt schon mitbekommen: dein Semesterticket soll teurer werden – VIEL teurer. Nach den „allerneuesten Berechnungen” hat der VBB festgestellt, dass das Semesterticket für Berlin und Brandenburg ganze 307,50 €; also über 600 Euro pro Jahr kosten müsse.
Für viele von uns schlicht unbezahlbar!

Als Studierende haben wir in den letzten 1,5 Jahren brav unser Semesterticket bezahlt – und es faktisch kaum genutzt. Während andere ihre Abos kündigen konnten, zahlten wir weiter und halfen dem ÖPNV durch die Krise - und als Dankeschön fordern der VBB und die lokalen Verkehrsunternehmen weitere Erhöhungen von den knapp 210.000 Studierenden aus Berlin und Brandenburg – also uns.

Wir sagen: Es reicht!

Sei dabei und sei laut!

Wir treffen uns am Donnerstag (16.09.) vor dem VBB (Stralauer Platz 29, 10243 Berlin) gleich neben dem Berliner Ostbahnhof um 11:00 Uhr.

Mehr Informationen zur Demonstration und den gesamten Aufruf findest du hier.
