Inhalt: This Master-level seminar explores the critical intersection of entrepreneurship, personal transformation, and civic wealth creation. Grounded in the principle that meaningful change begins with the individual, this course focuses on the "intrapersonal dimension"—the inner work and mindset essential for entrepreneurial success. Drawing inspiration from Otto Scharmer's Theory U, the course highlights the significance of self-awareness, as the success of any intervention depends on the interior condition of the change-maker. Students will cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset—a powerful leverage point for societal change—and be challenged to move from idea to action. Through self-reflection, introspection, and embodied exercises, participants will develop core competencies such as personal leadership, collaboration, and implementation. In a collaborative environment, students will take on the challenge of making a difference both individually and collectively, learning to embrace uncertainty, take initiative, and explore new ways of "knowing." The course emphasizes proactive engagement, encouraging students to recognize their strengths and use them to address real-world issues.

Innovation for sustainability (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Ursula Weisenfeld

Termin:
14-täglich | Montag | 10:15 - 13:45 | 14.10.2024 - 31.01.2025 | C 7.320 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Do citizens have a role to play in developing their environment? To what extent can citizens shape the development of their city or village through entrepreneurship, that is, through pro-active engagement in problem-solving processes? This is particularly important for a more sustainable development. This seminar will prepare for and finish with presentations organised like a conference on Citizen Entrepreneurship (CE). The assignments consist of a case presentation (as a group) & conference discussion (including individual reviews) & reflection. Thus, the course will provide you with knowledge about citizen entrepreneurship, an increasingly relevant topic in the context of sustainability. A kick-off will provide an introduction to Citizen Entrepreneurship & Sustainability. We will discuss examples of CE and explore how to identify CE cases for your group to work on. During the semester we will have several meetings for Q&A and feedback. The course will conclude with a mini conference with presentations and discussions. The conference is planned for December or January (tba).
