On March 10, 2020, Nina Fetter and Max Lörtzing from the Frankfurt Drees & Sommer team presented the first workshop at JOBLINGE. It covered project management and self-organization, and was attended by 17 young people.
The speakers covered the theoretical principles in the morning, while the afternoon was devoted to a practical exercise. The participants developed their solutions in small groups and then presented them to the other participants.
The goal of the one-day workshop was to provide a simple introduction to project management and self-organization.
A second workshop – this time a virtual one – was conducted on June 15, with further workshops planned. Drees & Sommer is also covering the cost of a JOBLING scholarship, which allows a young person to participate in the program and commence their professional training.

“I was really struck by how attentive the workshop participants were, not only absorbing the content, but also putting it directly into practice. I really had the feeling that I was doing something to support their personal development. I don’t think there is any better form of feedback for social outreach.”
