Social Impact Festival 2024: DIY ecosystems in a jar
Impact Learning aims to create a societal impact through project-based learning within the framework of studies and teaching, with the goal of collaboratively shaping a better future, guided by the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
This learning format fosters both the personal and professional development of students through knowledge acquisition and competence development, while simultaneously achieving an outward-facing impact on others, aligned with TU Braunschweig's transfer and knowledge exchange strategy.
Impact Learning enables students to collaborate on projects with partners from academia, business, and civil society. The programme is supported by the SQM project "tu4society" until 2027. Depending on the course, students can earn corresponding ECTS credits for their projects.
At TU Braunschweig, Impact Learning is implemented through impact projects within courses. As part of the support services, we provide the Sandkasten-Platform with project coaching and financial support, as well as our toolbox for project planning and reflection.
Here you will find informational materials and useful tools to support you / your students in the planning and reflection of an impact project.
In Tool 1 "How-to Impact Learning", you will find an overview of the content, as well as information on suitable assessment methods and our services for educators. Tools 2 to 5 are designed for use by project teams during the preparation phase, while Tool 6 is for the follow-up and reflection (based on Tool 4). Alternatively, the entire toolbox can be downloaded as a compressed folder.
Depending on the scope of the individual project, the relevant tools can be combined or used separately. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact Gina Kerber, Impact Learning Coordinator.
Please note that currently, the files are only available in German.
