Future in Garmisch: Second campus walk inspires participants!
The second campus walk took place in Garmisch-Partenkirchen last weekend. With 30 interested citizens taking part, the event was quickly booked out. In a colorful group, those present found out about the current status of the promising campus project and had the opportunity to talk directly to those responsible.
The route of the walk took the participants through four central stations: the construction site, the research center of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the Caritas vocational school for nursing and the Leifheit Foundation's living café. At the construction site, guests experienced first-hand the progress of the project, which combines education, research and care.
Important information and first encounters
The focus was on questions about the project's schedule and housing options for future campus employees. Alexander Huhn from Caritas explained that development areas are planned for students, trainees and employees. In addition, a market community working group was set up to clarify pressing housing issues. Many participants expressed their desire to soon move into future senior housing on campus.
Highlights of the tour were also technical innovations: In the Geriatronics Research Center at TUM, visitors had the opportunity to get to know the assistance robot GARMI via video and try out robot arms. TUM also recently moved to Breitenauer Straße, while an “open day” is planned for 2026. Dr. Martina Kohlhuber from TUM invited everyone interested to take part in the university's research achievements.
Commitment to the future of education and care
The Caritas vocational school presented an innovative training concept that focuses on active learning and individual support. The high level of motivation among both trainees and teachers was particularly emphasized. The tour ended in the Leifheit Foundation's residential café, where open questions were answered and valuable contacts were made. Some participants expressed the desire to spend the last part of their lives on campus, which underlines the interest in this project.
The campus project is firmly anchored among the population, and the growing interest shows how excited people are about this place of research, education and care. For further information about the campus project, those interested can visit the website www.campus-gapa.de visit.
In addition, the platform offers campus.edu comprehensive support for students. This ranges from providing students in need with a laptop and Wi-Fi free of charge to personal support in the form of success coaches. In addition, courses are offered by highly qualified teachers who teach at renowned universities. The opportunity to transfer to a four-year college, support early career or start a business also includes the development of practical skills and networks.
