DiveHack Project Presented at the GfHf Annual Conference

Their contribution 'Fostering students' diversity competence through problem-based learning and hackathons' highlighted the first findings from the implementation of problem based learning and hackathons in management learning to address the diversity management related issues in organizations.
In the DiveHack project, funded by Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre, students worked on real diversity issues in cooperation with partners from business and administration, linking scientific knowledge with practical solutions. The aim of the project is to develop a transferable model for innovative and practice-oriented diversity management teaching.
The evaluation results point out an increase in diversity competence of students as well as to student motivation and engagement with diversity issues.
