6.4 Guest Family Program Some of our international students might like to get to know a German family. For those interested in such contacts, we offer our Guest family program. German families welcome international students into their homes and lives. Many decide to have a traditional meal at home together; other do various activities like hiking in the Black Forest, going to a local event, the pub etc. 6.5 International Student Community (ISC) The ISC is a student society within the AStA. Its goal is to bring different cultures together and create a platform for international exchange. Having a strong relationship with the International Center, the ISC complements the International Center’s program of events and excursions for international students. The ISC is open to all students. International exchange students as well as German students participating in exchange programs are expected to become members and make a contribution to the university‘s cultural activities. For further information check the ISC-groups on facebook: • ISC Furtwangen • ISC Schwenningen – International Student Community 6.6 Excursions and Events The International Center and the International Student Community organize a number of excursions and events throughout the year. For example: • A 3-day trip to Berlin, day trips to Heidelberg, Konstanz, Freiburg, Stuttgart and other places, opera visits, company visits, cross-country skiing, hiking tours • International Festival, movie nights, country presentations, cottage weekend 37
