Practical projetcs of the department
Development of an innovative format for successful academic communication in the context of music, cultural education and participation. Students create explanatory videos on the theoretical background of sub-areas of music in cultural education. These will be made available to the public on the YouTube channel Meike's Music Orbit.
The seminar is a special teaching format, as it combines theoretical knowledge with a practical field on the basis of service learning. Musical projects, which have a different theme each lecture period and take into account different target groups across the entire lifespan, are designed, planned, carried out and continuously reflected on by the students throughout the process. The practical relevance is correspondingly high and allows the students to gain experience in different settings. The projects are oriented towards the needs of reality and require cooperation with different institutions, organisations, associations and educational institutions.

Thanks to the generous donation of €10,000 by the Leo Club Dortmund "Florian", in the future the young and older patients on the wards will also be able to draw and make music digitally, for example. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for supporting the project through the Advent calendar campaign!
