No, Uniartcity currently does not provide insurance support. Each participant is responsible for arranging their own health insurance.

The team is working on possible solutions, but does not yet have the official accreditation required to provide insurance support. If needed, the team can communicate with insurance providers on behalf of participants, but there are currently no formal agreements in place.

The gala takes place during the final week of the semester. As part of a self-assessment, students briefly present what they have learned to invited guests, including supporters, family and friends.

Each student has around 2 minutes on stage to share what they have learned — for example, building a house, organising an event or learning a new language.

Afterwards, guests have the opportunity to connect with the students and learn more about their five-month learning journey.

The next gala will take place on 26 September 2026 at Flow Forest.

No, this is currently not possible. Uniartcity is not accredited as a state-recognised educational institution and does not intend to pursue such accreditation, as doing so would require significant adjustments to its vision.

There is currently no state funding available for Uniartcity, such as BAföG.
