Media practice Film/Video
The students were able to acquire their media practical knowledge in the field of digitally produced film and video in the seminar "Media Practice Film/Video", led by Dr. John Seidler. The seminar was offered for the bachelor's degree in media studies and was developed in cooperation with the consumer center NRW. During the seminar two videos were produced in which the participants dealt with the topics of sustainability in daily life, nutritional awareness and food waste and its alternatives.
The coffee ground project
As part of the service learning seminar "Agricultural and Nutritional Research", the coffee ground project "We're interested in coffee grounds! - Possible uses of coffee grounds at the University of Bonn", in which the students designed their own sustainable barbecue lighter. The lighters were developed on the basis of coffee grounds and biomass. The service-learning seminar was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Thorsten Kraska from the Faculty of Agriculture and in cooperation with the Verbraucherzentrale NRW. The successfully implemented project results were presented at the opening of the Green Office of the University at Poppelsdorfer Allee as well as at the Hofgarten Bonn.
What does Bonn eat?
Resulting from the service learning seminar "Agricultural and Nutritional Research", a guide for environmentally conscious nutrition in Bonn was developed. The regional guide, designed by the students, is intended to introduce the participants to current relevant topics of sustainable nutrition, scarcity of resources, globalization, sustainability in everyday life and conscious consumption with the help of a biparcour. The guide is designed for students of secondary school level 2 who can go on excursions and discover things independently in a playful way with the accompanying app.
