Impact Learning focuses on the personal development of students through knowledge acquisition and skills development, while also creating meaningful impact beyond the university. The aim is to contribute to positive societal change and shape a better future together. Depending on the course, students can earn ECTS credits for their projects.
Impact Learning gives students the opportunity to collaborate on project-based initiatives with partners from academia, industry, and civil society. The programme is supported by the SQM project "tu4society" until 2027.
At TU Braunschweig, Impact Learning is implemented through impact projects integrated into regular courses. To support this, we offer the Sandkasten platform, providing project coaching, financial assistance, and a toolbox for project planning and reflection.
Here you will find informational materials and useful tools to support you / your students in the planning and reflection of an impact project.
In Tool 1 "How-to Impact Learning", you will find an overview of the content, as well as information on suitable assessment methods and our services for educators. Tools 2 to 5 are designed for use by project teams during the preparation phase, while Tool 6 is for the follow-up and reflection (based on Tool 4). Alternatively, the entire toolbox can be downloaded as a compressed folder.
Depending on the scope of the individual project, the relevant tools can be combined or used separately. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact Christian Stascheit, Impact Projects Coordinator.
