In the third episode of our special series '24 Hours at Hochschule Rhein-Waal', we spend an afternoon meeting some interesting members of the HSRW family. Not only do we learn more about our fellow colleagues and friends, but we also get some insights into interesting activities that take place in HSRW.

Clein Alexander Sarmiento Castrillon was once a student at Hochschule Rhein-Waal, where he completed his Master's in Bionics. He is currently a research assistant for the Information Engineering and Computer Science programme at the Kamp-Lintfort campus, as well as one of the many coaches of Hochschulsport, teaching core training.

Renate Schmitz-Gebel has a background in art history and literature and is currently teaching the Early Childhood Education programme in HSRW's faculty of Society and Economics. She is also in charge of the Creative Writing workshop featured in this episode. As a qualified de-escalation trainer, Renate has developed her own violence prevention concept called "Ich-Du-Wir Ohne Gewalt" (I-You-We Without Violence). Students from all study programmes at the Faculty of Society and Economics can participate. You can write in German, English, or any other language of your choice. The diversity of the students is expressed here; we hop between languages. The offer is particularly interesting for those who want to discover the German language in a playful way through creative exchange with others. Renate's contact: [email protected]
