Pastoral guidance

Tafelstraat 13, the ecumenical student chaplaincy is a place where students meet. Our building, with a living room and a kitchen, is suitable for different kinds of meetings, get- togethers with friends, social activities or to find some peace and take time for reflection.

During your time as a student, you have the opportunity to explore and grow in many respects. Tafelstraat 13 offers a wide range of activities during the academic year. To give you a little impression: discussion evenings about political, ethical or religious topics, walking tours, dining together, cultural trips, creative workshops, Taizévespers, international student service, and cross-cultural encounters. These activities offer the unique possibility to find out more about yourself and others. They also contribute to your personal development, consciousness-raising and social responsibility.

The two chaplains are there for you for personal support. Whether you need a confidential talk or a helping hand, there is a warm welcome for everybody, regardless of religion or background.

The Tafelstraat 13 website gives you current information and it also offers the possibility to register for activities or the newsletter. You can also find us on Facebook.
