Students of communication psychology lead workshops for employees of Siemens AG.
More than 30 employees of the Siemens turbine plant in Görlitz (Siemens AG, Power and Gas Division) took part in workshops held by the Faculty of Social Sciences at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences between June 4 and 6. They were guided in small groups by 10 students of communication psychology. The aim of the workshops was to generate innovative ideas for the development of an Engineering Program 2025+ against the backdrop of securing the location. Both sides were extremely satisfied with the collaboration. The Siemens employees were pleasantly surprised by the breath of fresh air that a change of scenery combined with professional organization brought to their minds. The students were pleased with the opportunity to try out the methods they had learned in practice and the constructive atmosphere in which the workshops took place.
The cooperation is thanks to the initiative of Thomas Ladeck and Jörg Trillenberg from Siemens AG and is supervised by Prof. Maja Dshemuchadse from the HSZG. A continuation of the cooperation in the coming winter semester is being planned and everyone involved is looking forward to it.
