Programme modules

Blickpunkte is structured by five different programme modules. By combining the different elements, the participants are not only able to exchange ideas with like-minded peers, but also with female* employees from their own Faculty and with women* from non-university professional practice. The framework programme serves to structure and give meaning to the other programme modules. For this reason, participation in the workshops is a prerequisitefor further participationin the programme. The individual programme contents are listed in more detail here.

The framework programme consists of

  • an individual introductory meeting with the programme coordinator in order to better tailor the future programme content to the participants
  • a final discussion at the end of the programme to reflect on and evaluate the programme
  • three different workshops:
    • a kick-off workshop to get to know each other, plan the programme and set objectives
    • a gender workshop to better understand the relevance of the category "gender" alongside other social categories and to better categorise gender-specific experiences in everyday university life
    • a final workshop for joint reflection

For the self-organised peer meetings, the mentees meet once a month in fixed small groups of approx. 4-6 staff, people. The hits serve as a protected space in which they can exchange ideas and advise each other on study and everyday life-related topics based on the concept of peer counselling.

At the group mentoring meetings, a mentor from the academic mid-level fac ulty of Sociology meets with a small group of 4-6 mentees assigned to her and passes on her experience to the mentees. The meetings take place at three different times and are intended to give the participants* an initial insight into the structures, informal rules of the game and individual career paths within the academic world .

As part of the fourth module, we invite two staff, people from academic/science-related professional practice to a round table discussion to show the participants alternative career opportunities and non-academic career paths. These staff, people can come from social science research institutes, the publishing industry, NGOs or consulting organisations, for example.

In order to create networking opportunities with students from other Faculties and broaden their own disciplinary horizons, the programme is supplemented by a fifth module. As part of a cooperation workshop, the mentees meet with participants* from the Blickpunkte programme of the Faculty of History, Philosophy and Theology. In addition to the interdisciplinary exchange of experiences and insights into other academic cultures, the mentees have the opportunity to reflect together on gender-specific experiences and worlds of experience.
