Advanced Perspectives on M&E: Climate Resilient Communities in the Caribbean (Seminar)

Inhalt: How to foster community impact? What makes a community resilient? Who needs to engage in climate adaptation action? This transdisciplinary community impact research project focuses on the intersection of climate resilience, communities and social innovations. The setting of the project is Grenada, a Small Island State in the Southern Caribbean (Lesser Antilles) in which communities face continuous challenges to adapt to changing climatic conditions and threats to their livelihoods. In their quest to become ‘climate resilient communities’, Islanders in the Caribbean are currently struggling to mitigate and adapt to changing climatic conditions and impactful catastrophes, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and the pandemic. Building on results generated in the previous two years, student teams will focus on co-creating solution-oriented transferable knowledge for a local community living in a marine-protected area. A concrete entrepreneurial training interventions will be implemented with student mentors (on-site) and regional partners, for example the GIZ Team on St.Lucia.

Measuring the impact of sustainable ventures: A practical application of impact logics & measurement tools (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Steffen Farny, Frederic Penz, Svenja Rehwinkel

Inhalt: In the course " Measuring the impact of sustainable ventures: A practical application of impact logics & measurement tools", students learn the basics of impact measurement and apply them in small groups to a sustainable venture in a practical project. The basics are taught in a 2-day block at the beginning of the semester. Both impact logics such as the Theory of Change and measurement methods are introduced and embedded in a process of impact measurement. Subsequently, the students form small groups. Each of the small groups develops in cooperation with a sustainable venture a concept for impact measurement for the respective organisation. This year we work together with professional sport teams. The teachers support this process through regular coaching sessions. The course concludes with a presentation of the concepts to the organisations.
