Service learning and experiential learning
Since 2019, the establishment of service learning across all universities has been part of HNEE's university framework agreement. This gives students the opportunity to scrutinise how they can leave an impact on society beyond the specialist and methodological knowledge they have acquired and applied. How can I realise myself on a civil society level? Where can I find like-minded people? How do I organise myself in my commitment and what framework conditions do I need to shape my environment?
Anchoring in teaching and research
Service learning is firmly anchored in the individual degree programmes through the modules and committee work. Results can be presented in publications and projects. The topic is also integrated into the introductory lecture →Introduction to sustainable development. The students' commitment is particularly recognised through the awarding of the Eberswalde University Society's Commitment Prize and the City of Eberswalde Prize.
The module "sustainably committed" gave me sensitised insights into the everyday commitment of the actors in their immediate environment outside the university context.
