Well thought-out designs!

Three pioneering HSZG projects impress at the Görlitz district school conference.

The Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences was a key speaker at this year's school conference of the district of Görlitz on September 26 with three forward-looking projects:

  • Prof. Dr. Sophia Keil presented the current status of Zukunftslernort Oberlausitz and related projects in extracurricular STEM education.
  • Kerstin Korb and Lars Rönisch presented the new campus app "MyHSZG" with its functions for students and teachers.
  • David Sauer presented the Digital School project and the Computer Science Education Network.

The school conference took place in the Energy CoWorking Space in Görlitz with almost 60 participants from all types of schools. The Education and Sports Office of the district of Görlitz and the Education Service Center of the Entwicklungsgesellschaft Niederschlesische Oberlausitz mbH (ENO) had invited the district of Görlitz and key partners to present the wide range of opportunities available. Ms. Kieschnick, Head of the Görlitz District Education and Sports Office, Ms. Heublein (Head of the ENO Education Service Centre) and Ms. Wild-Noisten (ENO Project Manager) gave presentations.

The contributions of the HSZG were very well received by those present. In particular, the triad of campus app, school network computer science and the diverse orientation offers for pupils shows the HSZG's determination to make a comprehensive commitment to the future of young people in our region.

The Vice Rector's message to schools was therefore: "With the Oberlausitz Future Learning Location, we are realizing our mission as a university to continuously promote innovative extracurricular educational opportunities for all types of schools that can be used by pupils at an early stage. In doing so, we are supporting the common goal of all stakeholders to prepare young people for their transition into the world of work while they are still at school."  

Ronald Lindecke from the district parents' council wrote in his Facebook post about the HSZG projects presented: " Very well thought-out constructs were presented, they could have a pioneering character and indeed effectively and sustainably counteract the shortage of teachers."
