Organizational procedure
- The deadline for the online collection of your course data has been extended until Wednesday, 15th of April 2026. Please enter your course(s) in the online system. You enter the course description, preferred dates, age group and duration in the system. You can hold your course alone or with co-lecturers.
- After this the schedules for each university will be created. Before the final program goes online at the end of May, you will receive a preview for approval.
- On the day of your course, please come to the LehrendenPoint (“lecturer’s point”) at your location about 30 minutes before the course starts. You will receive your VCU T-shirt, your teacher ID card and any materials you have requested and will be accompanied to your course room by a team member.
- While you are making preparations in the room, the enrolled children will be collected by the VCU team and then brought to your room as a group.
- During your course, at least one team member will always be in the room with you to support you and the children in your activities.
- After the course please come back to the LehrendenPoint where you can tell us how it went.
- For field trips (courses that are not held at the main location), the team will come directly to the designated meeting point with your t-shirt and ID.
