A beacon. “Welcome to Africa” abig hit. among universities. “‘Welcome to Africa’ has developed into akind of brand,” says. Cay Etzold who headsthe DAAD’s. Eastern and Southern Africa section. Initiatedin 2012 with funding fromthe Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF),the programme has been very. well received by all parties. involved. “The projectsare having an impact onthe participating universities,” says Etzold. TU. München, for example,.organised an “Africa Day” focused on. research; atthe University of Leipzig, anotably large number. of master’s theses and dissertationsare focusing on Africa; and. TU Dortmund has seen asignificant increaseinthe number of African applicants forthe DAAD’s. “Sandwich” PhD scholarship. programmein Germany and. Africa
Dedication that lasts. “The programme is definitely. one of our beacons,” says. Margot Weiler-Wohlfarth who is. responsible forthe programme atthe DAAD. “We not only sent. more German students than. expected, butin Africa we are. puttingthe structuresin.place to facilitate lasting collaborationin science and research. ” theprogramme has helped furnish. labs with equipment and teach. valuable research skills - all. things that will remainin.placeand continue having an impact. afterthe project is o***

stIBet supports “welcome culture”. Over 300,000 foreign studentsare enrolled inGerman universities. Since 2002,the STIBET scholarship and guidance-counselling programme,financed bythe German Federal Foreign Office, has. helped ensure optimal support for these foreign. guests. The goal ofthe programme is to help foreign students integrate into lifein Germany, both. academically and socially, as away to enhancethe effectiveness and success of their studies. If. Germany wants to attract 350,000 foreign students. by 2020 it is critical that they today have positive. experiences herein Germany and act as multipliers,spreadingthe word backin their home countries
STIBET supports projects that help foreign students. acclimate and settle into lifein Germany. Especially atthe start of their study programmes, they arein need of German language instruction, assistance. with administrative tasks and orientation on campus andin their local.community. The students. also seek contact to their fellow students and to members ofthe.community. Universities use STIBET. funds to finance awide range of measures - from. mentoring and “buddy” programmes, to orientation. events, field trips, and supplementary scholarships. that allow foreign students to.complete their. studiesin Germany. The foreign students benefit. immediately fromthe support, which providesa. solid foundation for an effective and successful. study experie***
numbers prove effectivenessin 2014, STIBET underwent acomprehensive. evaluation. The results ofthe evaluation prove theeffectiveness ofthe programme. Nearly 90 percent. of universities report thatthe additional funds. allowed them to expand and improve their support. for foreign students. A survey of over 11,000 international students proves empirically that 50 percent. of all foreign students take advantage of counselling or other assistance services provided by theuniversities. According tothe survey, foreign. students particularly take advantage of German. language instruction, support withthe enrolment
registration process, and help with finding an. apartment or other living arrangements
Nevertheless, despite STIBET’s significant contribution tothe “welcome culture” at German universities, there is still work to be done. Thirty-five. percent of students surveyed indicated that they. do not feel optimally integrated into everyday. university lifein Germany. Moreover,the drop-out. rate among foreign bachelor’s students - at. 41 percent - is 13 percent higher thanthe drop-out. rate among their German peers. The goal is to close this gap by offering more intensive support. services

More opportunity for. women and children. germanIndonesian dialogue. on legal issues. Asthe Republic of Indonesia. fine-tunes its system of civil law. with legal reforms focusing on. family/domestic law, marital lawand inheritance law,the country. must decide to what extent. Islamic values will influence its. system of laws. The goal of theDAAD-funded German-Indonesian collaboration project “Islamic. law, Gender and Civil Soci ety inIndonesia and Germany” is to support this process
“Our project concentrates on. reforming marital laws witha. focus on interracial marriages,divorce law andthe role of childrenin this context,” explains. Prof. Dr. Irene Schneider fromthe University of Göttingen who. headsthe project. Intensive. dialogue with colleagues from. Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic.

Through. their collaborative work, Irene. Schneider andthe GermanIndonesian project team want to sensitise legal professionalsin Indonesia tothe issue of women’s rights and, by association,the rights of children
“ Children’s issuesin Indonesiaare mostly addressedin connection with women’s issues,”. explains Schneider
Reaching decision makersthe project pays particular attention to establishing dialogue. with lawyers and judgesin theIslamic courts and turning their. attention tothe issue of women’s. rights and children’s interests
“Our partners atthe Islamic. Universityin Yogyakarta are. excellent multipliers on this. issue,” says Schneider. “Theyare not only directly involved ineducating Indonesia‘s lawyersand judges but also work as consultants, andare sought after. by both legal practitioners and. legislators for their knowledgeand expert opinion. ”. Children born out of wedlockand single mothers, for example,are by no means rarein Indonesia. Nevertheless, single. mothersare oftenthe victims of discriminationin Indonesia, thecountry withthe world’s largest. Muslim population. At thesame time, Indonesia has also. ratifiedthe UN Convention onthe Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women
“The question now is how to reconcile Indonesian civil law onthe national level with international legal norms,” explains. Prof. Dr. Fritz Schulze fromthe Department of Arabic and. Islamic Studies atthe GeorgAugust-Universität Göttingen
As Schulze points out, it isa. hot-button issue forthe German. side as well: “Islamic civil law. exists herein Germany too;. German law, for example, recognises Islamic legal principles indivorce proceedings for Muslim. marriages,” he says. With many. issues still open,the project. continues to encourage legal. dialoguein Germany too
