Impact workshop
The Impact Workshop is an accompanying format of our TaC project. We would like to invite student teachers, lecturers, teachers and other interested parties to exchange experiences, network, reflect and develop together. The focus is on how Social Entrepreneurship Education (SEE) can be implemented in teacher training programmes and in school practice across all school types.
SEE enables teachers and students to actively tackle social challenges and experience social responsibility in a practical way. Understood in a broad sense, SEE goes beyond purely economic education and promotes skills such as creativity, analytical thinking and problem-solving skills not only in economic subjects, but also in art, German, ethics or STEM subjects, for example.
It is possible to join the programme at any time. Previous participation or prior knowledge is not required.
Join us at our next practical workshop on 23 April 2026!
Social entrepreneurship education in school practice - teaching social responsibility with the TaC toolbox
How can Social Entrepreneurship Education (SEE) be implemented in schools beyond student companies and business lessons? This question is the focus of our workshop as part of the Impact Workshop on 23.04.2026. Join us! The workshop will take place from 4 to 6 pm in building 25 (Language Centre) in room 01.032 .
As part of the Teachers as Changemakers (TaC) project, theTaC-Toolbox was developed to support teachers and student teachers in integrating SEE into teaching and learning processes in schools. The toolbox is available in printed and PDF format and can be used flexibly in all types of schools.

The Impact Workshop is an open event and networking format that offers space for ideas, perspectives and joint further thinking. We combine theory and practice in thematically independent events: we look at specific examples, methods and tools, discuss best practice approaches and develop impulses for schools and teacher training.
Our workshops and other meetings focus on topics such as
-
Skills development in the context of social responsibility
-
Best practice examples
-
Innovative teaching and learning methods
-
Concrete implementation impulses for school practice
Participation and exchange
The Impact Workshop thrives on the open exchange of different perspectives. You can contribute your own ideas and experiences, but active participation is not a must. Listening, thinking and reflecting on the content presented in the individual workshops are very welcome. Each session is self-contained, participation is possible at any time - without obligation to participate regularly.
