The excellent “Service Learning” project aims to combine academic training with practical social engagement. Students between 40 and 60 hours work in social organizations and reflect on their experiences that can be taken into account for their studies. This Initiative not only promotes learning, but also the personal development and social awareness of the students. "This link between education and solidarity shows how positive volunteer work our society can shape," said Rathgeb.

Minister of Social Affairs Johannes Rauch emphasized the importance of such engagements: "Voluntary and voluntary commitment is a putty that holds our society together." In addition to the main prices, a special prize for outstanding volunteer coordination was awarded. As part of the project, work is also actively worked in family sponsorships, which in particular support refugee families.
