Program
We'd like to invite you to kick-off your studies with our grand Opening Week from 7 October (Thursday) to 15 October (Friday). The first two days are all about taking the very first steps: you will meet both the tutors as well as your project group and get to know the professors of your study program.
After a free weekend, the Opening Week will be dedicated to the topic "NEW DEAL". You're going to work in your project groups and gather impressions from discussions with interesting guests, hopefully developing your own vision for the world of tomorrow in the process. After an exciting week in which you were able to approach the topic NEW DEAL from different angles, the Opening Week ends on Friday, 15 October, with the final show where we're going to present some of the videos and commentaries you have worked on in your project groups.
The entire Opening Week takes place on the Leuphana campus and you're going to watch the livestreams of our Opening Week Studio in the project groups together.
