Experiential Education – Academic university course

Experiential education as a concept is already several decades old, but has gained additional relevance through the social and professional developments of the last decade.

In the professional field, resilience research developed an understanding of the importance of self-efficacy experiences, which provides the transfer theme of experiential education with new arguments. In addition, results from brain research support basic assumptions about the effectiveness of experiential education settings. In the meantime, there are also elaborated concepts for non-formal learning that reformulate and better substantiate the old "learning by doing". The concept of competence, developed especially in the EU context, as a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes and actions replaces the division into knowledge and skills on the one hand and values and actions on the other.

This makes it possible to sharpen experiential education as an independent concept and to distinguish it more clearly from leisure education and play education.

The start of the university course is planned for the summer semester 2023. We look forward to receiving your applications.

Continuing education relevant to practice

The target group of the university course in experiential education are primarily employees from the areas of kindergarten, school, extracurricular educational work, open child and youth work, child and youth welfare, but also from adult social work, from the areas of equal opportunities and diversity with a corresponding bachelor's degree or a relevant qualification.
