Our programme

Furtwangen Campus - Make the world a safer place

Girls' Day

Fire and disaster preparedness: get hands-on experience. Whether it’s a wildfire, severe weather, a major event, or a technical emergency—everywhere, we need people who understand risks, think ahead, and use modern technology to ensure safety. Maybe that’s exactly what you’re made of?

In this workshop, you’ll dive into the world of fire and disaster response − you’ll learn how fires start and how to prevent them, how emergency responders prepare, and how technology helps detect hazards early. Together, we’ll explore how emergency planning works, how protective measures are effective, and how smart ideas can improve safety in everyday life.

You’ll also gain insights into exciting fields of study and careers related to safety, technology, and disaster response. Creativity, team spirit and curiosity are just as important here as an interest in technology − the perfect ingredients for making our future safer.
