Community Outreach

Promoting Literacy, Engaging the Community

As part of our commitment to support education and literacy beyond campus walls, Petra Christian University Library continuously open its doors to the surrounding community through various impactful programs and collaborations.

Educating Elementary and Kindergarten Students

In collaboration with the Department of Education, Petra Christian University Library welcome kindergarten and elementary school students to take part in engaging learning experiences designed just for them. Through storytelling sessions, literacy-based games, guided library tours, and fun activities, we introduce young learners to the joy of reading and discovery in a fun, interactive way.

Schools are invited to connect with us to plan their visit, we’re excited to be part of shaping young learners’ educational growth.

Educating Early Childhood Teachers

We believe early childhood teachers have a vital role in shaping strong literacy foundations. To support them, Petra Christian University Library occasionally organizes workshops and seminars focused on helping educators better understand, engage with, and guide young children in their learning journey. During these sessions, teachers can explore children’s books, get practical tips, and share experiences on how to make learning fun and meaningful for kids.

Educating Local Communities

We’re committed to reaching communities that need support the most. Through our community outreach efforts, we regularly take part in social service activities, especially in remote areas, by offering literacy programs, workshops, and educational seminars. By helping build reading habits or sharing practical knowledge, our goal is to make learning more accessible and meaningful for everyone.

Science Film Festival

Petra Christian University Library is one of the official venue partners of the Science Film Festival (SFF) in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut. Through this exciting annual event, we promotes science literacy among students from elementary to high school levels with carefully curated science films. This fun, creative, and informative experience turns science into something exciting and accessible for students of all levels.
