Student Organizations and Activities

If you want to get beefed up like muscularly this semester, join our club. It’s for all levels, especially if you get intimidated by the idea of the gym/the residents of spok. Basically we just go to spok, spot, and share workout plans/celebrate PR‘s/give tips& correct form, ect.

We want to provide an open space for students to submit their art in a zine format. Hopefully anyone would be allowed to submit something! Our goal for this semester would be to publish an edition of the zine.
 

BCB Film Club creates a space for 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. By sharing our favorite films in weekly screenings, we hope to create the opportunity for the BCB community to explore the world of cinema, exchange thoughts with peers, love a film, hate a film, be unable to get a film out of ones head, engage casually or come religiously to every screening.

This club is about getting people into nature, getting people active, and building community. We hope to expand beyond our typical engagement, to reach new and old students at BCB. We also hope to organize a few full day hikes that are open to anyone in the community, including staff. The club is open to anyone, and is a safe space for LGBTQIA+ students :)

This club is the editing and management team of In The Elevator magazine, a literary magazine that anyone on campus is allowed to submit to, so long as they follow the challenge for every new edition.

This club aims at uniting BCB's queer community through various events that will engage both them and the wider community. Through creating a safe space for queer people to come together, we hope to learn and explore the depths of queerness. We're also committed to educating and expand our community to BCB and beyond.

Once a week we meet to practice our figure drawing skills, connect with other creative individuals, and destress from a busy school week in a chill and open environment. Every week we have different models and everybody is welcome to join. No drawing skills required.

an inclusive protest-art club willing to organize public art fairs to express social and political frustrations. people who want to resist against authoritarianism could participate in this club yet there are no specific requirements to join.

It's a film club where we'll watch all movies made by the Korean director Hong Sang-soo. We'll be meeting once a week and watching two of his movies. All fans of cinema and especially those of poetry of everyday life or of domestic realism in movie should join the club.

The Holy Bone Performance Collective is a group of Bard College Berlin students who have an interest in contemporary performance, theater, and experimentation. As a group, we will both research and practice small pieces of performance. The group will focus heavily on the Lehrstücke of Bertolt Brecht in the beginning, while collaborating to create their own pieces toward the end of the semester. When the opportunity arises, the group will organize trips to performances in Berlin at venues such as the Volksbühne, the Schaubühne, and/or HKW.

This club plans to work to produce knitted and crocheted practical items of clothing (e.g. hats and scarves) to donate to Helfen Wollen, a Berlin volunteer group who work with both homeless charities and ambulance crews in Berlin to distribute these items to unhoused people around the city, as well as distributing them directly. It has been running for 10 years and relies entirely on donations and volunteers. The main goal of this semester is that everyone involved is able to learn the skills needed to create one practical item of clothing, and to then create at least one item, with all items being donated over the semester. Depending on the pandemic there may also be opportunities late in the semester to help Helfen Wollen with their processing, packing and distribution of donations off-campus. This club is open to everyone with all levels of craft capabilities; from complete beginners to more advanced knitters and crocheters. If you have your own tools and supplies please feel free to bring and use them, and if you lack supplies please don't worry, as we have some which we can use. The most important thing we are looking for is the patience to learn a new skill, and a willingness to help people in Berlin! P.S This semester this club has been selected as part of the Civic Engagement fellowship programme, meaning we now have extra support and funding from the school to help better organise our sessions and supplies, so stay tuned!
