Student Organizations and Activities

The Archive of Noise Transmission, or A.N.T. Radio, is an EHCN-funded project that provides a digital sphere for community members to vocalize their ideas. In the tradition of pirate radio, our program is collaboratively produced and freely distributed. We seek to build a space for our community, and to create and share work without the constraints that often hinder artists working under capitalism. 
 

The mission of the Anti-Racist Reading Club is to create a space for BCB community members who are committed to the process of unlearning their internal biases surrounding race. In this group, we meet weekly, and spotlight different texts or pieces of media chosen by revolving members of the group. These focuses inform the general topic which we discuss in the context of the media of the week. The Anti-Racist Reading Club seeks to be a group which meets people where they are, therefore all levels of knowledge are welcome!
 

Books are fun to make. Book Arts Club will explore simple but exciting ways to fold and bind paper goods. Each meeting will have a focused fold or technique that members will workshop together. Regular attendees will leave with a little collection of books. Members are encouraged to bring found paper and board as well as the basic materials provided. There will be tea and snacks. 
 

Do you want to practice your German? Do you feel shy to speak it? Brot, Bier und Brettspiele provides a safe space for playing games, making mistakes, and motivating each other to improve. We organize regular German evenings where we play games, listen to German music, watch movies in German, eat German dishes, etc. We offer different games and activities, so anyone can join regardless of their level of German Bis bald!
 

carvings is an art & fiction magazine. We believe an artist’s greatest quality is their sensibility - how they look at the world, what they bring to the table. The pieces we look for are both bold in direction and meticulous in craft. Pieces right for carvings will notice the wealth of aesthetic opportunity found in our worlds - imagined, real - and follow that thread at any cost. Submissions should be romantic, unafraid, and lush. Like sculpture, carvings aims to unify the broadest gestures and the tiniest details, and hopes to arrive at something more significant than hewn stone.

Contributions are open every quarter under a new theme.

Our mission is to offer students interested in ceramics the opportunity to practice and develop their techniques outside the classroom. Ceramics Club meets every two weeks for a couple hours to create in the factory space. Our goal is to provide a communal creative outlet for everyone. Anyone interested in making art is welcome to join! We are an open community of creatives looking for a new space to create with others.

English Hour invites students and the residents of Pankow, the neighborhood which surrounds our college, to spend an hour together each week to discuss a variety of topics in English. It is an opportunity for the students at Bard College Berlin to make meaningful connections with our neighbors and an opportunity for our neighbors to improve and strengthen their English skills through dialogue This project creates a welcoming and encouraging environment which promotes cultural exchange and understanding and fosters positive relationship building between the diverse participants.
 

Film club would like to indulge with the BCB community in that particular social trance, the curated departure from the everyday, which is born when the lights are flicked off and a community of spectators become immersed in a movie, at once outside themselves and one with the audience. We share our favorite films in weekly screenings that follow a malleable program exploring themes engaged in existing discussions on campus and in courses. We hope to create the opportunity for people to explore the world of cinema, exchange thoughts with peers, love a film, hate a film, engage casually, or come religiously to every screening.

BCB Go Green is the umbrella organization of several environmental initiatives on campus and one of the longest-existing student clubs. Its primary aim is to provide students with a range of events and opportunities centered around environmentalism. BCB Go Green empowers students to recognise their own capacity to be change agents through focusing on the immediate circumstances they live in.

Initiatives like the poster campaign on environmentalism and the Environ-mental podcast point out how everyday decisions can have a significant environmental aspect, so therefore becoming more conscious does not require radical changes in one’s life. Our club also cultivates the community-building aspect of environmentalism, highlighting how our shared responsibilities also empower us to take shared action. Finally, BCB Go Green through enterprises like Urban Gardening wishes to help every member of our community to find their room for action while being supported by a network of committed peers.

BCB Go Green invites every member of our college community to join our currently existing projects and bring their own ideas. In the coming semester, we are planning to diversify the range of events we have offered so far, organizing vegan feasts, thematic weeks, and excursions in collaboration with other student initiatives. Join BCB Go Green and our shared endeavor of creating a community of individuals where the individual ideas can become shared ambitions.

The club revolves around writing letters to whomever is important to you.  Dear helps people make meaningful connections by reaching out to their friends and family in a more intimate way than text messages or social media.

This club aims to create a safe space for queer and trans youth at BCB and the wider community of Berlin.

Movement Research Club is a place for BCB students to dance together, exercise, explore body-based and contemporary dance practices, and research their own movement. The goal of the club is to create a space for students to dance together and exchange their knowledge of contemporary dance practices, and to maintain our health as a community through regular physical exercises. The club is a perfect fit for those who like to dance for fun, as well as for those who use their body movement as a coping strategy, self-expression, or artistic practice.
 

In the Musical Mushrooms our aim is to bring people together with beautiful jam sessions. All you need to participate is any sort of musical alignment.
