Objective

Interaction and functioning in different teams is a skill of the future in every profession. There is a constant shortage of team leaders in different fields. In this course, you will have the opportunity to study related theoretical knowledge and test your leadership skills in practice.
The team leader acts as an assistant to the teacher leader in the SUSTIS – Sustainable Development Project course for second-year students. In the course, students work in multidisciplinary student groups that carry out a working life-oriented, sustainable development-related project.
The team leader student is supported with coaching and work supervision. Duties include planning the activities of the project team with the teacher, grouping students and supporting students in the team's activities. What is essential for the team leader is leading and motivating the project team, not the content knowledge of sustainable development, although knowledge of the basics helps in the task.
