The "Applied Project Management" seminar in the "Applied Sports Science" Bachelor's degree programme at Paderborn University focuses on combining theory and practice. Last year, the sports students developed their own project ideas and are now realising them in cooperation with regional partners. The aim is to optimally prepare course participants for the demands of the professional world.
"Employers today demand not only sound specialist knowledge, but also practical experience in project management - this is exactly where the seminar comes in," explains head of the seminar Dr Hilke Teubert, a member of the Paderborn sports didactics and education group. The seminar works closely with the Paderborn City Sports Association, the Paderborn District Sports Association (KSB), Paderborn University's University Sports Centre and SC Paderborn 07. The result is a wide range of practical projects that benefit students and staff at Paderborn University as well as the regional sports landscape. At the end of April, Paderborn students, in collaboration with the city sports association, organised a trend sports day for 80 children from the open all-day school (OGS) at Sande primary school, where they were able to try their hand at various sports such as floorball, baseball, parcours, ultimate frisbee and cornhole.
Class check - learning in the stadium
As part of SC Paderborn 07's "Nullsieben Bildungszone" education programme, seven sports students have developed a new workshop module on the topic of "Team building and conflict resolution". The workshop, entitled "Class Check", will be held on 24 and 25 June at the club's stadium, the Home Deluxe Arena. A sixth grade class from Brakel comprehensive school will be given the opportunity to explore topics such as group dynamics, communication patterns and positive co-operation in a fun way. The aim is to strengthen the pupils' social skills and promote a constructive classroom atmosphere.
Basketball action on the university campus at the "3x3" tournament
On Tuesday, 24 June, there will be a "3x3" basketball tournament at Paderborn University, organised by three students from the department in cooperation with university sports and the Paderborn Baskets. "3x3" is a fast and dynamic version of basketball in which teams of three players compete against each other and play for just one basket. 16 teams with up to 64 participants, consisting of students and employees of the university, can take part. Registration is now open via the university sports booking system.
In addition to the sporting competition, participants and spectators can look forward to an attractive supporting programme with other tournaments such as roundnet or padel tennis, DJ music, a food truck and drinks stand, as well as the opportunity to get a taste of other attractive university sports activities at a variety of hands-on stations. As a special highlight, the Paderborn Baskets will play against members of the Presidential Board of Paderborn University in the opening game at 4 pm.
"Volunteer" Cup as a thank you for young volunteers
The "Volunteer Cup" at the Ahorn Sports Park on Saturday, 28 June, celebrates voluntary work in sport. In collaboration with the Paderborn District Sports Association, five Paderborn sports students are organising a day of action for around 80 young volunteers and sports assistants. The programme includes workshops on personal development and sporting challenges in which the participants can playfully compete against each other. The aim is to recognise the important work of the young volunteers and offer them an opportunity to exchange ideas and network.
