"Team Öko 2017" on November 3 ensured that ecology and environmental protection students got to know each other better.
The aim of the "Team Öko 2017" event, which was offered to students at Ecology and Environmental Protection NÖb17 on 3 November 2017, was to get to know fellow students better. Together with the Ecology and Environmental Protection department of the Faculty Natural and Environmental Sciences, the "Learning for the sake of learning" project of the career service organized this new format. The 20 participants were able to get to know each other better in the morning with playful elements.
The participants then gathered knowledge and experience in a world cafe setting on topics such as group and team work, personality, social roles and corporate culture. The basic idea of the exercise was to show the participants that they already have a lot of knowledge and expertise as a group and that this can be supplemented by various offers e.g. from the career service of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences.
The afternoon event included subject-specific tasks that had to be completed and solved by the students at Olbersdorfer See . The new students not only got to know the course content better, but also Lake Olbersdorf with its history and its flora and fauna. In addition to technical knowledge, the focus was on fun and the opportunity to solve tasks together. The lecturers present had the opportunity to be there, get to know the students better and answer questions about their studies. After the convivial evaluation in the student club Dezi-Bar, all participants agreed to offer this format again next winter semester.
We would like to thank all participants, organizers and helpers once again!
