Project report: Buddy Event Social Work (JG 2020 & 2021)
On October 13, 2021, the Buddy Event 2021 took place at Sixty Twenty for the 2020 and 2021 social work classes. There were advance announcements about the event in the respective classes. The event started at 18:00.
In order to provide the best possible support for new students on the first semester of the Social Work degree program, a certain number of students from the 2020 cohort volunteer to act as “buddies” (contact persons) for concerns. This is intended to promote the group dynamics of the degree program and make it easier for first-semester students to start their studies.
In courses of the JG 2021, profiles of the volunteer “buddies” of the 3rd semester were distributed, which were taken to the event by the respective students to find their buddy there. There was a drinks voucher for each person.
Many people were present and there was a lively exchange between the two semesters. We received a lot of positive feedback from 1st and 3rd semester students. The event broke up at around 22:00.
