Workshop: Self-Empowerment and social impact (in English)

This workshop gives you the chance to explore causes that you deeply care about and take next steps to make a difference. This doesn’t mean you will become a social entrepreneur tomorrow. Yet it means you are empowered to choose how you want to contribute to society with your gifts, talents and hard-earned skills from your higher education. And in doing so, find your place in society and grow professionally.


During the workshop, you will explore …

… the psychology of doing good — and how that feels in your body
… causes the world needs + you care about — and what you care about the most
… the balance between self-interest and altruism — and how this can empower you
… the world of philanthropy — and reframing the ‚bad‘ reputation of money
… how you can measure social impact — and what really counts
… ways of volunteering today and tomorrow — and the „Ehrenamt“ in Germany
… the value of networks — and how good connections bring good things

The workshop includes individual reflection, storytelling, group and partner exercises.

Target group: International students of the MIN faculty and in teacher training
