The first meeting of the Bielefeld University International Spouse and Partner Network took place on February 21. We were very happy to welcome on the one side newcomers, like a family from Brazil who came just two days before our meeting and older members of the community, like a polyglot researcher who has already studied and worked in fifteen universities all over the world before coming to Bielefeld 2010 as a Humboldt fellow following her husband.
At our first meeting we got an impression about peer learning possibilities, got to know each other and exchanged thoughts, experiences and knowledge. We hosted two presentations:
Ms. Yulika Ogawa-Müller presented the mentoring programme movement, explained its components and goals and how mentoring
and peer learning help mentees to find their way (out). Movement will be soon made available in English, too. More information
about movement and how to participate you can get 
here.
After this very interesting introduction we had the pleasure to hear Ms. Piia Rossi and how the Trailing Spouses Art Collective,
a unique art education project, got together and what they are up to. Trailing Spouses, a group of persons who followed their
relocated partners to Bielefeld is based on peer learning and had its first exhibition, also supported by the Welcome Centre in
October 2012 at Bielefeld University. We highly recommend you their informative blog: mybielefeld.
Trailing Spouses is looking for new members, perhaps it is your turn this time!
The Bielefeld University International Spouse and Partner Network will meet next time on March 14, 10 a.m. at the
IBZ,
Morgenbreede 35. All partners, spouses, couples and further
interested persons are welcome. Please give us a prior notice in case you need a child care.
