Events on the topic of "Menstrual health"

How does the menstrual cycle influence studies and everyday working life - and what would it mean to anchor menstrual health as a responsibility and resource at a university or college? These questions are the focus of this series of events, which we are organising together with OTH Regensburg. With your voices, we want to develop answers and make new perspectives visible. We also invite you to events and open dialogue formats.

Menstrual health at the university - a collective participation workshop, 22.6.2026, 15:30-18:30, S 113 (OTH R)

How does the menstrual cycle influence studies - and what would it mean to anchor menstrual health as a responsibility and resource in the university? This workshop creates a space for knowledge, honest exchange and collective action. After a brief input on menstrual health in the context of education, participants will work in moderated discussion groups: they will identify challenges, formulate needs and develop concrete ideas for change. The results are incorporated into an action map that can serve as a basis for realising potential.
The programme is aimed at menstruating people who are members of the UR and OTH R.
