Being a father while also navigating everyday life at the university — that can be quite a lot to handle all at once.
Appointments, deadlines, publications, teaching, and exams on one hand. Family, childcare, relationships, caregiving, and the question of how to actually be a “good” father on the other.
That’s exactly why the hejDADVÄTERCAMPUS is now available at Clausthal University of Technology.
It offers you a safe space where the focus is on your role as a father: straightforward, grounded in everyday life, and free from the pressure to justify yourself — without any magic formulas and without the expectation that you have to have everything perfectly under control.
At the VÄTERCAMPUS, you’ll meet fathers from different universities who face very similar life situations and challenges. You can share experiences with them and discuss questions that often get overlooked in everyday life. In addition, there are insights from experts — in the form of lectures, workshops, and discussion sessions — as well as practical suggestions on topics related to family, fatherhood, relationships, caregiving responsibilities, and balancing a university job or studies with everyday family life.
Perhaps you’re currently thinking about how to divide family responsibilities more fairly. Maybe you’re wondering how to stay present for your family during a stressful period. Perhaps you’re about to take parental leave, your children are getting older and the challenges are changing, or you’d like to redefine your own role as a father.
At the hejDAD Vätercampus, you don’t have to find answers to these questions on your own.
You’ll take away what works for you and your daily life — through discussions with other fathers and with support from the hejDAD team.
