Project Team: Prof. Dr. Maik Arnold, Dr. Helge Fischer, Josefin Müller
Funding: Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships (KA2)
Partners: Akademie für Berufliche Bildung gGmbH (Project Management), Coventry University (UK), VUC Storström (DK), Colegiul National Nicu Gane (RO), Manzavsion (FR)
Duration: September 2019 to December 2021
Grant: EUR 31,840

The main objective of the project is to create a qualification and communication platform to simplify the use of game elements in the classroom of VET. The results of the project will therefore consist of an initial content collection of best practice cases provided on the platform. In order to be able to use these in a simple way and to expand them continuously, the platform will be designed in such a way that it is very easy to use and requires very little training. From the point of view of the project consortium, ease of use represents a central barrier for teachers, as they have relatively little time for preparation. By establishing an online community for Game-Based Learning in VET schools.

The In-Tour project aims to close a gap in the European training system in the tourism sector. The qualification needs are specified and analysed in order to create the specifications for a European curriculum in the area of accessible tourism at the level of EQF 6 (tourism manager) and EQF 5 (service staff in the tourism sector). Accessible tourism is about allowing as many people as possible to participate in tourism activities. Facilitating tourism is not just a social responsibility – there are also significant business benefits to the targeted improvement in accessibility as it can boost the competitiveness of tourism in Europe.

Duration: March 2020 to June 2021

The project LehrWerkstatt N – Nachhaltige Lehre an der Fachhochschule Dresden (TeachingWorkshop N – Sustainable Teaching at Dresden University of Applied Sciences) developed in the Lehre Hoch N programme of the Alfred Töpfer Foundation includes a transdisciplinary course on Kommunikation in der Krise – LehrWerkstatt N: Nachhaltige Lehre an der Fachhochschule Dresden (Communication in Times of Crisis) in the degree programmes Graphic Design, Social Pedagogy and Social Management. Students developed projects over the course of an academic year, incorporating socio-scientific-empirical, artistic and (socio-)economic perspectives. Conclusions are drawn on the design of learning processes, the use of digital tools and transdisciplinary cooperation.

The Lehre Hoch N programme focused on discipline-specific challenges in teaching, which were jointly analysed and worked on and provided individual fellowships to academics.

Funding: Stifterverband, Klaus Tschira Stiftung, ZEIT Verlag
Duration: Mai 2020 to December 2021

We selected Stefan Brunnhuber’s work *Die offene Gesellschaft: Ein Plädoyer für Freiheit und Ordnung im 21. Jahrhundert *(The Open Society – A Plea for Freedom and Order in the 21st Century) for the planned “Eine Uni–Ein Buch” campaign. The book takes up, among other things, Karl R. Popper’s Open Society and Its Enemies, published at the end of the Second World War and stimulates the readers to engage in a critical discourse about today’s society(ies) without getting caught up in political discussions or getting lost in social meta-topics such as globalization, sustainability, digitization, and distributive justice. Brunnhuber is a doctor and economic sociologist, psychiatrist, and economist. The interests of the Dahrendorf student and member of the Austrian Chapter of the Club of Rome are diverse and include considerations on resource wars and peacekeeping, growth, and sustainability.
