Open MIC Night

With the Open Mic Evening, we want to offer a recurring platform where students from Cologne's universities and young local artists can present their creative exploration of topics relating to individual, social and ecological well-being.

The stage for this is provided by our modern, sculptural St John XXIII Church, where participants can express their creativity and explore themes of wellbeing. A great opportunity to socialise with like-minded people, share your artistic talents and inspire each other.

When? Thursday, January 15, 2026. Starts at 6.30 PM
Where? KGH Church, Berrenrather Str. 127, Köln-Sülz

We cordially invite you to actively participate in the Open Mic: as a musician, poet, storyteller, dancer... apply now for a performance at this first event.

Look forward to a varied evening full of creativity and good vibes!
Whether you perform yourself or just want to be there - network, get into conversation and meet new people at our barbecue and Kölsch in our courtyard afterwards.

Sport & Spirit – Primal Moves

Find your balance through movement!

The fitness class is designed for students who wish to strengthen their mental health through physical activity. Targeted exercises improve body awareness and mobility, reduce stress, and help prevent psychosomatic symptoms such as tension or headaches.

The course combines powerful movements, stretches, breathing techniques, relaxation exercises, and so-called “Primal Moves” – playful exercises inspired by movements from the animal kingdom. At times, we even move on our hands and may eventually work toward standing steadily in a handstand. The movement sequences promote joy of movement, flexibility, and a sense of ease in everyday life. Accompanying reflections also help foster a deeper understanding of the connection between body and mind.

Goals:

  • Joy of movement instead of performance pressure
  • Improvement of body awareness
  • Stress reduction and relaxation
  • Promotion of mental balance
  • Relief of psychosomatic symptoms
  • Improvement of mobility

Course structure

When? Tuesdays 5.30 - 6.30 PM
Duration: 50 minutes 
Groupe size: max. 20 participants - for all fitness level
Languages: English, German
Where? KHG Sporthalle im Erzbischöfliches Berufskolleg Köln (EBK) (direkt gegenüber der KHG), Berrenrather Str. 121, 50937 Köln
Start: October 28, 2025

The offer is free for students!

Benefizkonzerte des World Doctors Orchestra

Mit großer Resonanz haben am 5. und 6. Juli 2025 die Benefizkonzerte in der Sankt Elisabeth Kirche Bonn und Philharmonie Köln des World Doctors Orchestra stattgefunden. Mit einem Chor aus mehreren hundert Studierenden der Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln sowie des Collegium musicum der Universität Bonn wurde bei teilweise 38 Grad in unserer Kirche Hl. Johannes XXIII. und Aula in der Woche davor intensiv geprobt.

Die eingenommenen Spendengelder kommen dem Verein Kinderherzen e.V. zugute, der sich weltweit in krisengeschüttelten Regionen mit mobilen Krankenstationen um herzkranke Kinder kümmert.

Wir freuen uns sehr über diese Zusammenarbeit, wo insbesondere auch Studierende sich für den guten Zweck einsetzen. Wenn du ein Projekt mit caritativem Hintergrund planst und dafür Support (Räumlichkeiten, Know how etc.) benötigst, dann sprich uns gerne an.
