Workbooks for "Hörschnäges Kids"

2025-09-11T15:22:38+02:0011 September 2025|

This year, I was once again able to work for the University of Trier and the Department of Social Sciences Education - this time on a project that is particularly close to my heart: the new workbooks for the podcast series "Hörschnäges Kids".

While the original "Hörschnäges" booklets are tailored to lower secondary level, "Hörschnäges Kids" is aimed at primary school pupils. The idea: Promoting language education right from the startand where language, society and politics are closely interlinked - in subject lessons.

The short, child-friendly podcasts pick up on key topics from history, geography and society and illustrate them using regional examples. I have developed the appropriate layouts for the workbooks, which contain listening exercises, tasks and materials for in-depth study.

In addition, this year I have also designed two advertising flyers for "Hörschnäges" and "Hörschnäges Kidswhich fit perfectly into the respective line in terms of design and make the projects visible to the outside world.

I particularly enjoyed working on this series because it ideally combines my favourite subject areas - education, design and child-orientated knowledge transfer. I hope that the new booklets and flyers will help to motivate young listeners to listen, think and ask questions.

Further information on the project can be found here.

Creative design project for the University of Trier: Teaching materials for learning about Europe

I once again had the pleasure of working for the Didactics of Social Sciences department at the University of Trier, specifically on a project to create a handout for teachers on the subject of "European learning in the Greater Region". This material for the research project Edu.GR (European Education in the Greater Region) was conceived in the form of a folder - and I had the freedom to adapt the corporate design accordingly.

My tasks included the creation of a print template for the external appearance of the folder, including the title, logo and other elements. I was also responsible for designing 12 tabbed pages for the different lessons. It was satisfying to see how my work helped to present the information in an appealing and clear way.

Workbooks on podcasts

I was extremely pleased to be able to work for the Didactics of Social Sciences department at Trier University again: The school workbooks, in conjunction with the appropriate podcasts, are intended to give students the opportunity to combine media skills and action-orientation. In this way, media knowledge is conveyed and research skills are learnt in a very practical way. I have created the corresponding layouts and hope that this will motivate the young listeners particularly well!

Workbook on the topic "Europe and us"

It was a great pleasure to be able to work for the Didactics of Social Sciences department at Trier University again: The school workbook on the topic of "Europe and us" provides information on the Greater Region, its location and its function in Europe. Above all, however, it is intended to give pupils the opportunity to explore and investigate for themselves. I have created the corresponding layout and hope that this will motivate the young researchers particularly well!

Workbook for students with plenty of room for design

For the social sciences didactics department at Trier University, a logbook was requested as a workbook with plenty of space for students' own designs, spontaneous notes, sketches and drawings. The look had to be professional on the one hand, but also young, fresh and target group-orientated on the other - a kind of "lure book" to inspire students to try out different methods of political education and be curious. A great result!
