Recap: 30.04. SLR Special Event: A Poetry Slam Night | FIT: Well-Being & Social Integration

On April 30th, 2026, the Student Living Room hosted its very first Poetry Slam - and what began as a small and slightly nervous gathering turned into a truly special and meaningful evening.

A total of 12 participants joined the event, including both familiar faces from the SLR community and new students connected through a shared interest in poetry and creative expression.

The idea for the Poetry Slam originally emerged through conversations with one of the regular visitors of the Student Living Room, who has been writing poetry for years and is currently hoping to publish a book of his Spanish poems. Together with host Jule, the idea slowly developed into an event centered around openness, creativity, and connection.

At the beginning of the evening, many participants were shy and unsure of what to expect. No one knew how much people would feel comfortable sharing. However, after the first few readings — and a short break outside on the sunny terrace — the atmosphere slowly changed. The ice was broken, conversations became deeper, and the room started to feel more and more like a genuine safe space.

In total, six participants shared their texts, many of them reciting more than once throughout the evening. Over time, the event became less of a traditional stage performance and more of a collective exchange of poetry, thoughts, and emotions.

Participants shared poems, diary entries, and personal reflections about love, grief, self-love, identity, and life experiences. Texts were presented in Hindi, Spanish, English, Turkish, Persian, and other languages, often accompanied by short English translations or introductions.

In between performances, participants gathered on the terrace with snacks, enjoyed the sunset and evening atmosphere, and talked about the power of poetry and creative expression.

By the end of the evening, there was one shared feeling in the room: this should definitely happen again! The event revealed how many creatively talented and artistically interested people are already part of the SLR community - and sparked ideas for future events, perhaps even including a writing session beforehand.

The Poetry Slam became more than just an event: it became a moment of connection, trust, and community through words.

What is a Self-care session?

Every Wednesday (5-6pm) we will meet in the Student Living Room to do activities or talk and exchange about Self-care related topics! Self-care, as we understand it, can be practiced in a number of ways, such as taking time to relax, having fun playing a board game, creating an effective study routine, learning more about one‘s mindset, and much more… 🙂

Sessions marked in green are Self-care sessions and take place on Wednesdays, usually 5-6 pm. The other sessions are Special Events with individual timings.

Feel free to come around and bring your friends!

We are looking forward to seeing you!

Was ist eine Self-care Session?

Jeden Mittwoch (17-18 Uhr) treffen wir uns im SLR für spaßige Aktivitäten, und um uns über Self-care und ähnliche Themen auszutauschen. Self-care, wie wir es verstehen, können wir auf ganz verschiedene Arten praktizieren: Zum Beispiel kann man sich Zeit zum Entspannen nehmen, für ein Brettspiel, eine effektive Lernroutine zu erschaffen, sich über sein eigenes Mindset bewusst werden, und vieles mehr.. 🙂
