Module content:
Service Learning is a form of teaching in which students apply theoretical knowledge (learning) practically in a nonprofit context (service). In this module, students will work in groups on various service learning projects in nonprofit and/or cultural organizations Through the service learning project, the module is able to establish a strong practical relevance to the theoretical contents of the business management courses, in particular cultural management. Students are given the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge to a real task or problem in a nonprofit organization located in Saarbrücken or the surrounding area. The project work is accompanied by regular reflection sessions that function as a bridge between theory and practice and allow students to learn to critically reflect on what they have learned. At the end of the seminar students will present their projects.
 
An examination portfolio is a compilation of different examination achievements with the goal of promoting sustainable learning. The portfolio should consist of a presentation(s) and a final report.
 
Students can receive points during the semester by submitting individual achievements and group work. In addition, after successfully completing
the seminar and the project, each participant will receive a certificate of voluntary commitment.
