Content
In the course of the seminar, students will receive input on the topics covered in various thematic
blocks as well as working materials for self-study and review. Subsequently, the contents are
deepened in the seminar in the context of exercises, role plays, reflections, presentations and
discussions.
As part of the examination, the participants will work on a topic from one of the overarching areas
(DEI in Leadership, DEI in Entrepreneurship, DEI Measures, DEI Interventions & DEI Tech) in
depth and in detail and prepare this didactically so that all other course participants can also
benefit from it. During the seminar, they will have the opportunity to present and discuss this topic
and to receive feedback on the developed content following the presentation as well as in a peer-
review process. Based on this, the students will further elaborate, concretize and clearly prepare
their topic in the course of the semester.
