Impact NOW! Innovation Hub Management (Seminar)

Inhalt: How to make the transformation::spaces for future-oriented learning a sustainable project? The course “Impact NOW!” builds upon concepts and ideas developed in the course “Designing for future impact” and takes place in cooperation with the transformation::spaces for future-oriented learning (a project of the cooperation service of Leuphana University). Concepts for programmatic and functional space development, networking and community building, are to be further developed and to be put to practice in teams (interpersonal and implementation competency). The actual practice of “innovation hub management”, along with input and/or mentoring from practice partners (e.g. Impact Hub hosts, architects, Entrepreneurship Hub) will support a diverse set of practical and professional skills. Therefore, this hands-on, real-world course prepares students for the challenges ahead through the development of shared visions and leadership skills. Project group foci can be from organizing, hosting, promoting, debriefing events (impactful stakeholder engagement) to how to establish a functioning and sustainable governance structure; to logistics and marketing. Overall, key competencies in sustainability (Brundiers et al., 2020) and professional skills (Brundiers & Wiek, 2017) can be further developed and emphasized according to students´ background and wish of further personal growth. At the beginning of the course the 3D mapping method is introduced and experienced and used to conclude the course in the final session (performance assessment/ oral part). Creativity, critical thinking, and an entrepreneurial mindset is wanted, needed, and trained in this course.

From walk & talk to WALK THE TALK - Cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Theres Konrad

Inhalt: This course works towards the temporary exhibition “the beauty of transformation” to be opened June 21st at the transformation::spaces for future-oriented learning at Leuphana University. The course has the development of an entrepreneurial mindset in focus (and not the development of business plans!). Community action serves as a source of empowerment and gives the opportunity to practice impactful stakeholder engagement. Inspired by Theory U, methods for introspection are introduced and students´ self-exploration is the baseline for further action. Inner development goals are the point of departure for collaborative community action. Students will make the experience of an Inside Out Group Action (The Economy – it is us!), reflect about their stakeholder engagement experience and derive lessons and ideas for own projects with transformative potential. Audio-visual or similar project outputs are presented in the last seminar session and receive a stage at the exhibition “the beauty of transformation”. The transformation::spaces for future-oriented learning are there to be used for the exploration of one´s entrepreneurial actions throughout the semester. Students will learn how to relate to oneself (intrapersonal competency) as a foundation for collaboration with peers, learning facilitator(s), and stakeholders (interpersonal competency), via methods such as Photovoice and the evolving hosting transformation toolbox. “Walk and talk” is taken literally, hence, part of the course will take place outdoors.

Inhalt: **Attention: this is a course open to doctoral candidates as well as Master's students in complementary studies. This results in the fixed time slots in the morning.** This course works towards the temporary exhibition “the beauty of transformation”, as a particular way of science communication, to be opened June 21st at the transformation::spaces for future-oriented learning at Leuphana University. The course has the development of an entrepreneurial mindset in focus (not the development of business plans!) and sheds light on potentially less heard of methods (such as applied by, e.g., Theo Aalders and Kate Monson).
