A mentoring program with school pupils:
Service learning – learning from each other!
Together, the association “Chancenwerk” and the TUM’s Carl von Linde-Akademie developed a module that combines social commitment and professional qualifications. The participants can help children and adolescents to get better education and maybe even pursue an academic career.
Preparation at the Carl von Linde-Akademie
Before starting with practical work at the schools, a mandatory two-day theory course at the Carl von Linde-Akademie provides insight on schools and their social environment. Questions of immigration and interculturality will be addressed – and there are courses focusing on communication and conflict management.
Usually, the program lasts for half a school year. 3 ECTS points (soft skills) can be granted for the participants, provided that the respective faculty agrees.
Dates and registration
The next two-day theory course will take place on Friday, June 3, and Saturday, June 4, 2015 – from 9 am to 5 pm; Munich, Augustenstraße 44. Registration-deadline: June 1, 2015. Registration: peter.brenner@tum.de
