What I find most interesting about ‘Arbeitslehre’ is the combination of two disciplines in one concept that are usually thought separately about: mental and manual work as combined activities, project related working and thinking, conception and implementation, reflecting of work processes and products.

Fundamental for the discipline is the extensive theoretical and practical knowledge.

• Product development: development and design of every day devices, cooperation with companies

• Project work: development of independent projects at the interface of education, design and presentation
  
  
• Development cooperation/ global learning: conception and implementation of thematic

• Various further training courses in seminar and teaching methods, project and team management, moderation, participative planning methods, global learning etc.
