15 years of ackon university: a milestone of human sciences in Berlin
celebrations for the 15th anniversary of the Akkon University for Human Sciences in Berlin
On September 12, 2023, a festive act took place in the Aquino Conference Center in Berlin on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the Akkon University of Human Sciences. This educational institution, founded by the Johanniter-Accident Aid, is unique in Germany because it is the first university to assign an aid organization.
Over the past 15 years, the university has taken a remarkable way. With now 1,400 students, it offers a variety of courses, including seven bachelor and five master programs that not only focus on care and medicine, but also include areas such as humanitarian aid and population protection. This diversity reflects the increasing need for qualified staff in social and humanitarian professions.
Thomas Mähnert, a managing director of Johanniter-Accident Aid, explained during the celebration how important the Akkon University is for the development-oriented approaches in academic training. He emphasized: "The university combines various areas of knowledge to develop solutions for social challenges." This transdisciplinary approach has proven to be particularly successful and will continue in the future.
A remarkable aspect of the Akkon University is her close cooperation with the Johanniter-Accident Aid, which manifests itself in projects such as "Gaffen kills". This project has the goal of sensitizing the public for the dangers of accident locations, which underlines the important role of the university in the practical application of research and knowledge.
The Akkon University quickly reacted to the challenges of corona pandemic by introducing an innovative hybrid model for its courses. This enables students from all over Germany to take part in the courses offered and thus flexibly to gain their professional qualifications. Such adjustments show how the university is willing to adapt to changing conditions and continue to offer high -quality training.
In his speech at the anniversary, Prof. Dr. Andreas Bock, the President of the Akkon University, emphasizes the significant need for practice -oriented teaching, which becomes clear through the production of successful graduates. These graduates are ready to react to the challenges of their professional future, which indicates the quality of training at the university.
The Akkon University will continue to work to expand their programs and deepen their research. With initiatives such as the Institute for Research in International Assistance (Iria), she helps Germany be equipped with qualified staff in humanitarian aid and in crisis management.
The 15th anniversary of the Akkon University is not only a reason to celebrate, but also to be highly used for the entire area of social services in Germany. It shows the need and necessity of innovative, practical educational offers that aim to effectively meet the challenges of our time.
The Johanniter-Accident Aid, which is largely behind the university, is one of the largest aid organizations in Germany. Their work in various social areas and the establishment of the university are exemplary for the valuable contribution that such organizations make.
