Floorspeaker

Due to the size of our dormitory, we have had floor representatives and their deputies for some time, who are each responsible for their own floor. The only requirements for a floor spokesperson are a little commitment and the willingness to get to know your fellow residents. As a floor spokesperson, you are the contact person for everything that concerns your floor

Tasks of a floorspeaker

  • Welcoming new residents and introducing them to the floor.
  • Introducing new people to the KaWo, this includes helping with:
    • Internet facility
    • Registration of the house association
    • Joining the Telegram group
    • Getting to know the neighbourhood (e.g. shopping facilities)
  • You are the contact person for the caretaker if there is any information concerning your hallway.

The following activities are voluntary, but desired:

  • Planning joint activities with your fellow residents
  • Participating in general meetings and possibly senate meetings

Rights of the floor spokesperson

  • You are the first person to decide who can sublet on your floor. If a roommate wants to rent out their room to someone else for a certain period of time, they need the signature of a floor representative to be allowed to do so.
  • The floors are given the opportunity to receive money for activities on the floor. You could spend these 30€ per semester for a common meal or other floor activities. (For more information, please use the contact form to write to us.)

Elections

At the latest every second semester, or after a floor representative resigns, new elections must be held on the floor. How your floorspeaker is elected is up to you as long as there is consensus. As soon as a new representative has been appointed, write a message with your floor, the name of the floorspeaker, and the deputy via the contact form to the allocation comittee.
