Making the world around us a better place, realising your own projects and meeting new people: that's what "Projects for Future" at LUH is all about. Here you can realise a social, ecological, technical or economic project for more sustainability together with other students.

We support you with specific tips on implementation – from brainstorming to project management and realisation. Join in and make a difference!

  • We support you with input and coaching on project management

  • If you wish, we can connect you with other students and external stakeholders so that you can realise the idea together

Who can take part?

All LUH students who are interested in project work, want to acquire practical project management skills and are committed to greater sustainability.

Individuals or groups can register for the programme every semester.

  • Scope and credit points

    The project duration should be limited to the lecture period. You decide for yourself how much work you can invest during this period. Your project idea (which we can develop together) must match the amount of time you can invest.

    Depending on the amount of time you invest and your participation in certain workshops and consultations, you can earn 2 or 4 credit points. In addition, there are online materials for individual preparation and follow-up work on the topics of project management and sustainability.

What it can be about

Whether ecology, education, social justice, technology or economy – whether recycling or upcycling, swap meets or info formats: Many things are possible! The project ideas should be based on the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

You can find out more about the 17 Sustainable Development Goals on the website "17ziele.de" from Engagement Global, on behalf of the BMZ.
