Between Lecture Hall and Project Work is initiated by the GIZ and aiming to build a bridge between academia and practice. Designed as a competition, students from German universities analyze a selected ongoing international project implemented by the GIZ and enrich it with results from current academic discussions and findings on the certain topic. Meanwhile the foregoing rounds of the competition demanded a poster submission concluding the results of the students research and their recommendations, this years 15th`s round asked for a submission of a three-minutes video - and thus added a challenge on top.
25 videos were submitted for the competition, which of five were done by IUSD students working in tandems. Salma Abdelrahman and Manuel Heckel with the video “The influence of education on social cohesion, the case of Sri Lanka”, Rowa Elzain and and Yu-Hsin Hsiao with “Strategies for international projects in effective working progress” and Amr Abotawilla and Khaled Elmansi with “Arabterm: Marwa and Samir Facing linguistics Challenges” were invited to present and compete in the final symposium in Berlin.
You can watch not only their submissions, but also the videos by Ana Baez and Marwa Tina “Peace and Sustainable Development,The case of Colombia” and the "Participation as a Win-Win Situation for Citizens and Municipalities in Palestinian Territories” by Isabell Enssle and Pamela Bournigal at http://hoersaalundprojekt.alumniportal.com/videos-2016.html. All of them are very informative and enjoyable, done with a great patience and accuracy.
IUSD is very proud to announce, that IUSD not only has got six finalists out of 19 in this year’s HuP competition, but also that two of them, Salma and Manuel, won the competition and were awarded an internship with the GIZ. …and not only them celebrated a great success. Rowa Elzain and Sandy absolutely amazed everyone with their presentation and were later on offered a summer job.
Congratulations!
