ABSTRACT
In Germany, a growing number of universities begin to explore their neighborhoods, engaging in partnerships with community organisations and involving students in service learning and civic engagement activities. Across regions practitioners gain experience in the design and promotion of community-based teaching approaches. In order to meet future challenges, a program has been set up to foster pattern-based exchange between teaching staff, students and engagement coordinators. This paper presents the first steps in developing a pattern language, which meets likewise educational activities. It contains the three preliminary patterns RIGHT PEOPLE FOR RIGHT PROBLEMS, IMPROVE STUDENTS' COOPERATION SKILLS and ATTRACT UNBIASED TEACHING STAFF.
