Lunch & Learn: Between Everyday University Life and Care. Realities, Roles and Resources.
Lunch & Learn stands for lunch and absorbing new impulses. The online format of the TH-Wildau provides exciting input on various aspects of care tasks in the context of care - tailored to your lunch break. Together with various stakeholders at universities and external experts, it offers a broad spectrum of questions.
In the summer semester 2026, TH Wildau is presenting the Lunch & Learn on the topic of care. In three sessions, expert Marina Dillmann, head of DERINA Bildungswerkstatt für Menschen im Gesundheitswesen, will provide well-founded, informative and entertaining input on the major topic of care and show ways to relieve the burden on carers, with the aim of providing orientation for people with care tasks:
- Introduction to the topic of care (boundaries, forms, needs)
- Influence of gender roles (gender care gap) and specific support services
- Services for carers
The FAMteam is promoting this event as a recommendation from the "Family and University in the State of Brandenburg" network.
