Periods are political

Although around half of the world's population menstruates, periods are often considered taboo. In her book ‘Periods are political’, Berlin-based journalist and activist Franka Frei shows how this causes great harm. On Tuesday, 18 November 2025, she will be a guest at StuCa at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences (House K, An der Karlstadt 8) at 6 p.m. to read and discuss myths, shame and how deeply taboo is anchored in society, politics and the economy with participants. Participation is free of charge. Registration is possible until Friday, 14 November by emailing sisrael@hs-bremerhaven.de.

"The next 50 years begin now": Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences celebrates milestone birthday with friends

To mark the end of its anniversary year, Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences invited partners from the city, politics and business. "Five decades – that's much more than just a number," said the recently re-elected rector, Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Alexis Papathanassis, as he opened the reception on the university campus. "It is half a century full of life, full of ideas, full of stories. Fifty years of research, teaching, learning and joint creativity." Together, they reviewed the highlights of the anniversary year and auctioned off posters created by students. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Teaching Award 2025 to Prof. Dr. Karin Vosseberg.

Developing new skills with escape games

Traditional lectures with frontal teaching are largely a thing of the past at many universities. More modern learning methods tend to focus on engaging more actively with the content, thereby acquiring additional skills alongside specialist knowledge. At Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, students developed an escape game for the first time across different degree programmes in the compulsory elective seminar ‘Vocational Education for Sustainable Development (BBNE) – Development and Testing of a BBNE Escape Room’ in the summer semester of 2025. On the way to completing the game, they not only learned a lot about their topic, the forces of nature, but also about project management, design and working with people from other disciplines.
