Achtung Liebe - The somewhat different sex education class

Achtung Liebe Bern is an association of Bernese students that aims to offer a sensible alternative to the often dry sex education lessons at primary and also secondary schools. Following the concept of "peer education", we visit school classes in the canton of Bern to offer young people a form of sex education that addresses the real questions and problems of the pubescent generation.

Insecurities such as "Is masturbation unhealthy?", "How big is a normal penis?", "Why don't I have my period yet?" or "Is there something wrong with me because I am attracted to my own sex?" should be addressed and discussed openly.

We also explain the effects and dangers of STIs and show how to protect yourself against them. We take a case with all the common contraceptives into each classroom for demonstration and hands-on purposes.

In order to be sufficiently prepared for our missions, we attend workshops that are held in the tri-national network in cooperation with Germany and Austria. It is always very informative and amusing to be shown the various methods and to play them out.

If you are interested in anatomy, medicine in general, pedagogy, pharmacology, psychology and the like and would like to teach the "porn generation" about sexuality, lust and relationships, you are very welcome to join the Achtung Liebe team.

Education against tobacco Bern

Education against Tobacco Bern is an association of Bernese students that was founded in Bern in 2012 following the German model. The aim of our association is to educate high school students at eye level about the consequences of tobacco consumption, so that they can make an independent decision based on sound knowledge. We visit the classes free of charge in two interactive courses that build on each other and focus primarily on the short-term consequences that are relevant for the students. 

However, our association does not only aim at the preventive education of young people, but also at raising awareness among fellow students on the topic of tobacco/tobacco prevention and smoking cessation. To this end, we organise presentations on current topics, such as the health effects of the newer nicotine products like e-cigarettes/vapers/juuls and IQOS, and other workshops.

In addition, an active club life is also important to us, which is why we organise various club events every year, such as spaghetti/fondue dinners, excursions to the Rega base/sea rescue/medical police, etc. Are you interested? Contact us without obligation to take a look; we look forward to meeting you!

CLASH Bern

CLASH Bern (fr.: Collectif de Lutte contre les Attitudes Sexistes en milieu Hospitalier) is inspired by the founding collective CLASH at the University of Lausanne. Our purpose is awareness and communication around the issues of sexual harassment and sexism in everyday medical settings, as well as in medical education. In a first step, our goal is to create a platform where incidents of sexualised violence in a medical setting can be anonymously reported through phone or web form. People affected by such violence should be able to receive low-threshold support. A trusting space should be created which enables those affected, as well as witnesses, to be heard and provided with contacts of professionals. In future projects events and workshops will offer an open talk, discussions, solutions, and assistance about sexualised violence in the medical field.

Debating Club at the University of Bern

You know how it is: in some lectures you have to try hard not to fall asleep, others you never want to end. That may have to do with your level of interest in a topic. But very often it is because of the personified sleeping pill giving the lecture.

If you want to learn how to avoid such mistakes in oral communication, then you have come to the right place. As Cicero already knew: "You can only learn to speak by speaking".

It doesn't matter what you study. In the debating club of the University of Bern you can test and improve your rhetoric skills in an informal and constructive environment. You learn in a practical way to put your thoughts into words and to present them in such a way that they convince your counterpart. At the same time, you will deal with current topics from society, politics and business.


As a difference to the discussion at the regulars' table, we use the rules of the Open Parliamentary Debate (OPD) to create some order and structure.


We meet weekly during the semester on Monday evenings at 6:30 pm at the University of Tobler, in FS 2022 in room F 012. The meeting usually lasts until about 8:30/21:00 pm. Afterwards we traditionally meet for further discussions at Beaulieu.


All interested people, spontaneous or registered, are welcome! No previous knowledge is required.



We look forward to welcoming you with us:

Eye Contact Group Bern

The Eye Contact Group Bern is a group of students and people interested in self-improvement, communication training and conscious perception of diversity. The idea comes from the social movement "The Liberators" and gained a lot of attention in social media in 2015 through the "World's Biggest Eye Contact Experiment". At the heart of the Eye Contact Experiment is the experience of how human connection can happen through consciously noticing, paying attention to and acknowledging the person sitting across from you. At these events, people of all ages, nations and faiths come together and simply look into each other's eyes. Strangers become friends, everyone experiences very different things. But one thing participants say again and again is that it is wonderful to experience how easy it is to connect with people! Diversity stands for a holistic process that understands the differences of all people involved in a community as an opportunity and potential for them and the community - here the university - as a whole. It is about the perception of diversity, the appreciation of different identities and ways of life, as well as the active promotion of diversity by creating a respectful living, learning and working environment. In the spirit of this approach, the Eye Contact group Bern would like to make a small contribution to the appreciation of diversity at the University of Bern with monthly meetings. We meet every first Thursday at the Uni Tobler for eye contact. We invite you on an exciting journey of discovery to yourself!

Institute for Value-based Entrepreneurship (IVE)

Das Institute for Value-based Entrepreneurship (kurz: IVE) ist ein studentischer Verein, der sich für die Persönlichkeitsentwicklung der Studierenden interessiert. Unser Ziel ist es, den Studierenden den Zugang zu ihren Stärken und Werten zu ermöglichen.

Um dies zu erreichen, organisieren wir jedes Semester unsere Workshop Reihe zu diesen Themen. Der erste Event ist unser Strength-Finder Workshop, an welchem die Studierenden nach dem Ausfüllen des Clifton Strength for Students Assessment ihre Top 5 Stärken herausfinden können. Wie sie diese individuellen Stärken in ihrem Alltag einsetzen können, erfahren sie danach in unserem persönlichen Coaching Gespräch. 

Unser zweiter Event is der Value Workshop, in dem die Studierenden angeleitet werden, aus ihrem Wertegerüst ihre wichtigsten 3 Werte herauszuarbeiten. Es wird zudem aufgezeigt, wie wichtig das eher etwas hintergründig scheinende Thema Werte in der Arbeitswelt werden kann. Die Studierenden erlangen mit den beiden ersten Events einen Überblick über ihre eigene Persönlichkeit, der zum Denken anregen soll.

Abgerundet wird unsere Workshop Reihe durch den Practical Insights Event, an welchem IVE Alumnis oder andere interessante Speaker eingeladen werden. Die Studierenden erwartet einen interessanten Einblick in die Praxis. Wie setzen diese Leute im privaten und beruflichen Umfeld ihre Stärken und Werte ein bzw. um? Wie können mir die erlangten Kenntnisse z.B auch bei einem Bewerbungsgespräch helfen?

Wir als IVE Students glauben daran, dass es die Menschen mit ihren Stärken und ihren Wertegerüsten sind, die ein Unternehmen ausmachen. Diese wird dann auch immer wieder von unseren IVE Alumnis on-the-Job bestätigt.

Warum solltest du dem IVE beitreten?

  • Hast   du Freude daran dich selbst besser kennen zu lernen und dein erlangtes Wissen anderen weiterzugeben?
  • Arbeitest   du gerne mit verschiedenen Menschen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen zusammen?
  • Bist   du neugierig und kannst auf Menschen zugehen?
  • Oder   arbeitest du lieber im Hintergrund und magst es die Organisation weiterzuentwickeln?

Kannst du diese Fragen mit ja beantworten, sind das schon einmal super Voraussetzungen, um dich beim IVE zu engagieren. 

Was dir das IVE bieten kann:

  • Du   lernst dich und deine Persönlichkeit besser kennen
  • Du   wirst deine Stärken besser verkaufen können
  • Du   wirst lernen, was dir wichtig ist und welche Werte für dich massgebend sind
  • Du   hast die Chance an den IVE Summits mit verschiedenen Schwerpunkten, wie z.B. Self-Marketing teilzunehmen
  • Du   hast Zugang zum Innovation Bootcamp, in dem wir mit interessanten Firmen zusammenarbeiten
  • Du   wirst Teil eines Netzwerkes von Gleichgesinnten (IVE Students und IVE Alumnis)
  • Du   kannst von uns ein Arbeitszeugnis erhalten, dass deine Tätigkeiten beim IVE ausweist und das du deinen Bewerbungsunterlagen beilegen kannst
  • Lerne   mehr über deine eigene Persönlichkeit kennen und gib dein Wissen als Coach an andere Studierende weiter. 
  • Du   lernst zentrale Aspekte deiner eigenen Persönlichkeit kennen, die auch bei Bewerbungsschreiben und -gesprächen von sehr hoher Relevanz sind.
  • Entwickle   dich weiter durch: 
    • IVE-interne   Workshops: An Summits mit verschiedenen Schwerpunkten, wie Self-Marketing oder dem Innovation Bootcamp, wo wir mit Firmen zusammenarbeiten (coming soon)
    • Die   Betreuung der akkreditierten Veranstaltung “Business Creation Workshop” (3 ECTS) an den Universitäten Bern (coming soon) & Basel, an denen das erlernte Wissen vertiefter und im spezifischen Kontext der Startup Creation den interessierten Studierenden angeboten werden.
  • Ein   Netzwerk: Finde gleichgesinnte unter den IVE-Students und Alumnis. Bestehend aus Unternehmer*inner, Personen in Kaderpositionen, Innovationsgetriebenen und guten Freund*innen.
  • Mit   universitärem Engagement und dadurch angeeignetem Wissen fällst du positiv auf und hebst dich von der Masse ab.

Assessing personal limits and capacities correctly and taking your own emotional state into account are important to us.

Lepontia Bernensis – La tua «Student Group» tra Ticino e Berna

Lepontia Bernensis è l’unica confraternita mista di italofoni a Berna e fa parte della Società Studenti Svizzeri (www.schw-stv.ch). 

Durante il semestre organizziamo degli Stamm aperti a tutti, visitiamo altre sezioni della Società Studenti Svizzeri a Berna o in altre città e partecipiamo agli eventi della SSS. L’highlight annuale è la festa centrale, il ritrovo di studenti ed ex studenti più grande di tutta la Svizzera. 

Tutti gli eventi seguono le tradizioni della SSS, portiamo i Colori (nastro e cappello) e usiamo i Vulgo al posto dei nomi all’anagrafe. 

Perché diventare lepontini? 

- Il nostro programma comprende, oltre agli Stamm e alle visite, eventi sportivi, culturali e seminari. Ogni due anni le sezioni bernesi della SSS organizzano anche un ballo. 

- Partecipando agli eventi delle altre sezioni della SSS si ha la possibilità di migliorare il proprio tedesco e svizzero tedesco. Lepontia Bernensis è praticamente un’associazione bilingue. 

- Lepontini una volta, lepontini per sempre: la nostra associazione e la SSS sono intergenerazionali. Ciò può essere utile non solo per entrare nel mondo del lavoro dopo gli studi, ma anche per raggiungere al meglio i nostri traguardi durante gli studi. 

Important: German-speaking students who want to improve their Italian are also welcome!

Marxist Associaton Unibe

Since the beginning of the world economic crisis, the youth's desire for an explanation and the longing for a social alternative have grown continuously. Today, however, the political establishment and its system-conforming media can no longer offer either. The same old interpretations also dominate at universities. These are theories that cannot satisfy students who are seriously looking for convincing answers.

In cooperation with Der Funke www.derfunke.ch, we have therefore created the Marxist Association Unibe in order to form a counterpoint at the university level as well. We deal with questions of theory and practice of a society-changing politics. Because in order to change this world, we have to understand it.

Our reading circles and events are attended by students, learners, Matura students and workers from all backgrounds and of all ages. So we are open to all! We are all united by the realisation that a lot is going wrong in our world. Our reading circles and events are both discussions of the classics of Marxism and Marxist analyses and discussions of current events and issues. Marxism is a theory that is otherwise difficult to access. And if you do, it is usually in a highly distorted form. Discussing it together should enable us to develop our own, independent, political analysis. One that also shows us the possibilities of breaking out of passivity to take our fate into our own hands. Finally, it is not least about organising for a political alternative. A better world is possible, but it does not fall from the sky. The Marxist method can be a powerful weapon in the hands of a population that is pushing for change. All interested people are cordially invited to join in this collective endeavour!

Officers' Society of the University of Bern

The Officers' Society of the University of Bern brings together active and former students who are serving or have served as officers in the Swiss Armed Forces. We see ourselves at the interface between security policy, the military and science and want to encourage discussion on military and security policy issues. To this end, we organize events that are open to the wider public on the one hand and events that are exclusively open to our members on the other hand.  

In addition to deepening military and security policy knowledge, the events also serve to foster camaraderie. We have members from a wide variety of disciplines and military backgrounds. As we are all at different stages of our studies – or even already have both feet on the career ladder – the Officers' Society is the ideal place to make contacts, expand your network and discuss military, professional or private matters.

PROBe (Psychedelic Research Organization of Bern)

PROBe (Psychedelic Research Organization of Bern) is a student organization dedicated to exploring the subject of psychedelics. Through a range of events, we aim to educate people about psychedelic research and the potential clinical benefits of these substances. We also aim to reduce the risks associated with recreational use of psychedelics and promote responsible use through prevention and education.

Our goal is to create a world where people have the necessary knowledge and experience to fully leverage the healing potential of psychedelics. We approach this topic with an open mind, recognizing our responsibility to promote awareness of psychedelics in a thoughtful and scientifically rigorous manner. We also strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment where students can freely and openly exchange ideas.

As PROBe, we organize various events such as paper clubs, lecture series, movie nights, and integration sessions. We invite you to join us in exploring the topic of psychedelics.

If you're interested, please feel free to check out our contact page at https://linktr.ee/psychedelicresearch. We look forward to meeting you!

Reatch! Research. Think. Change.

Who we are

Reatch is the independent think tank for critical scientists and science enthusiasts in Switzerland. We are committed to ensuring that research and society pull in the same direction. We are grassroots and rely on the innovation potential of numerous volunteers. We are organized since 2014 as a non-profit association with regional groups in Basel, Bern, Zurich and Lausanne.

What we do

  1. Pizza, Philosophy & Science: Philosophically classifying scientific developments in a casual setting while eating pizza
  2. nanoTalks: Immersion in the world of research in two lectures followed by an apero
  3. Reatching into the Rabbithole: Thought journey into a future scenario with focus on societal impact of technology & science.
  4. BlogPodcast: factually balanced publications on relevant scientific topics
  5. Themengruppen: content work
  6. Scimpact: Moderate, write blog articles or learn storytelling and network building
  7. Franxini-Projekt: Bringing science and politics closer together


Reatch is for you if you:

  • enjoy discussing social issues with people from different backgrounds
  • have an eye on the societal impact of scientific research
  • see potential for scientific orientation in the policy-making process
  • prefer not to channel your interests into one field of study
  • want to get involved in a concrete way
  • want to become part of a motivated community
  • want to gain valuable practical experience alongside your studies in areas that correspond to your interests


Important to know: Science does not just mean the natural sciences. We have people from philosophy, biology, camera arts, economics, mathematics, engineering, literature, chemistry, political science, industrial design or physics (and many other fields).

Would you like to become part of the impact? We are looking forward to motivated members who would like to contribute to the constructive exchange between science, politics and society.

"Reatch allows you to break out of your own bubble and think about scientific topics in social contexts. At Reatch, I can contribute to this."(Florian Häfliger, Study Foundation grantee and co-lead community Reatch)

SCAD - Students of Color of the African Diaspora

Der Verein SCAD ist die erste Gruppierung der Universität Bern, welche die Förderung der afrikanischen Diaspora bezweckt. Das Ziel des Vereins ist es, Personen unserer weltweit verstreuten Community einander an der Universität Bern näher zu bringen und sichtbarer zu machen. Durch die Vernetzung und den Austausch Schwarzer (1) Studierender wollen wir eine Gesellschaft am Campus aufbauen, stärken und vereinen. Dabei koordiniert der Verein SCAD unzählige Veranstaltungen, um Freude zu verbreiten, interessante Themen zu diskutieren und – wenn nötig – auch unsere Gesellschaft politisch zu vertreten. Als Schwarze Studierende bezeichnet der Verein SCAD all diejenigen, die sich selbst mit der afrikanischen Diaspora identifizieren – egal wie nah oder fern die Wurzeln zum Kontinent sind. Wir freuen uns über jedes neue Mitglied, jede*n Follower*in und jede*n Supporter*in.

(1) Wir schreiben «Schwarz» absichtlich gross. Die Grossschreibung von «Schwarz» weist auf eine politische – statt biologische – Positionierung hin. Diese Schreibweise ist eine Strategie, sich den Begriff selbstbestimmt anzueignen und damit ein Ausdruck der Selbstermächtigung und des Widerstands gegen Rassismus.
