Bavarian-Syrian Cookbook

To complement the “HeimatTafel” project, volunteers from Weilheim produced a Bavarian-Syrian cookbook in 2017/18. The ZFM supported the project through translation activities of an employee, with assistance in typesetting and printing, and by financing the printed cookbook. On July 10, several copies were handed over to the contributors of the Weilheimer Tafel.

The "HeimatTafel" project of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, in cooperation with the Bundesverband Deutsche Tafel e.V., enabled the Weilheimer Tafel to rent a small field. This was given to Syrian refugees for agricultural cultivation. All the recipes in this cookbook are largely based on ingredients that were grown and harvested in the field of the Weilheimer Tafel.

Module and additional study program: "Language qualification and integration coaching"

From 2016 to 2019, the professorship DaF/DiDaZ in cooperation with the ZFM offered the module and additional study program "Language Qualification and Integration Coaching". Students dealt with language didactic contents as well as with psychological and legal basics, which they need in their work with migrants. All contents were treated and deepened in theory, discussion, reflection and practice. The program comprised 30 ECTS credits, which could be acquired within two semesters. The aim was to enable participants to support young people and adults with migration experience in their reorientation and to offer qualified German lessons. In the summer term 2019, the last graduates successfully completed the module and additional study program "Language Qualification and Integration Coaching".

Development of the module "Cultural and Educational Work: Participation and Responsibility" in the area of "Studium.Pro Gesellschaft"

As part of the interdisciplinary program Studium.Pro, which can be taken by all students of the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, the module "Cultural and Educational Work: Participation and Responsibility" was developed by the Center for Flight and Migration in cooperation with the Chair for Didactics of German Language and Literature for both Bachelor and Master’s students. The module imparts the competence to independently develop interdisciplinary approaches to current socially and culturally relevant topics. In the lectures, among other things, students deal with educational and cultural institutions in and out of school as well as with the individual, structural and relational conditions of participation and cultural education.
