Comment/Description

Students of Sociology often chose for their internship and later occupation counseling: this training seminar offers insights into the theoretical basis, examples of use, and options for further training courses with regard to some typical counseling approaches.

Research about sustainability concerns macro-, meso- and micro-phenomena. While politics and sociology focus foremost on the micro- and meso-level, this seminar situated between sociology and psychology allows an understand of counseling in support of acting social sustainably on the the meso- and micro-level of work and organisations.

Subject matters of the training seminar are, after an introduction, selected approaches of communication and group-psychology, systemic counseling, non-directive counseling, supervision and intervision, and coaching. An interview with a counselor/practitioner in the spirit of explorative learning adds field exploration insights to the literature-based understanding gathered by student’s teams.

In this training seminar, counseling approaches which can support actors in acting socially sustainably in organisations are explored. In an introductory workshop, the modus operandi and basic knowledge are conveyed. Based on that, student’s teams develop a workshop about one counseling approach so that it can be explored together with all participants. Theoretical as well as practical insights become tangible through the setting. Upfront reading, content from field explorations, short inputs and guided activities in small groups interlock beneficially. The lecturer provides literature, offers practice examples, counsels student’s teams in their preparations and gives differentiated feedback.

Requirement: Willingness of active participation, reflection and interaction are important for participation in this training setting.

The Module of Student’s Choice W5 is studied as a stand-alone seminar. It can be complemented with other seminars of the training-format “Sociology meets Psychology” by the lecturer.

Recommended for 3rd semester Bachelor students before their internship and thesis, but explicitly open from the 1st semester. As far as capacity allows, open to Master and Erasmus students, and to students from other faculties: The training is limited to 20 participants.
