Service Learning

Prof. Dr. Silke Boenigk has regularly offered the project seminar Service Learning at the Universität Hamburg every year since the summer semester of 2009. Originally from the USA, Service Learning is a form of teaching that combines scientific seminar content and practical experience with civic engagement. Participants in a Service Learning seminar regularly attend a seminar (Learning) at the University of Hamburg and simultaneously render voluntary assistance (Service) to a non-profit organization.

With this ongoing project, we are part of the university's network #UHHengagiert (translated: UHH involved). The network is committed to foster the connection between academic teaching, research, and the application of knowledge within the civil society. It aims to bring university and society closer together, enable exchange on eye level, and sets a focus on research-based learning and social responsibility.

In this pdf, you will find information on previous practice partners and project topics (PDF as of October 2019).

Becoming a Partner

Within the framework of the Service-Learning Seminar our chair cooperates with numerous public and nonprofit organizations. Are you interested in having students of the Department of Business Administration volunteer to provide a "service" for your organization? If so, you are welcome to contact Ms. Carolin Saltzmann (contact details on the right) and enter a concrete project assignment, which will be worked on in the context of a "Service-Learning" seminar by students of the Department of Business Administration.
