Give back to our community!

Community Involvement (ComIn) is a programme in which HMSM students actively contribute to improvements within the community. They choose a project that adds value to HMSM and supports their own development. By working together on concrete solutions, students strengthen both their professional skills and the community in which they study, work and live.

Studielink

As a first year student, you can already choose a project  which you personally care about. You can choose for one of the proposed projects or devise/submit a project proposal yourself. Besides your regular classes, you will clear time in your schedule to dedicate your energy to your community project. Below, you can read more about a few examples of these projects.

Project: Working together with charities

In this ComIn project students are part of TeamUp. This is a collaboration of Unicef, Save the Children and War Child. Hotel school students are trained to provide social care at a nearby location. Here they help refugee children to become a child again. They will assist children to deal with feelings of anger, fear and stress, all in a safe and playful environment. Want to learn more about this project? Read Annabel’s blog in which she will tell you more about this special ComIn project.

Project: In good company at the dinner table

This ComIn project focuses on decreasing loneliness amongst the elderly in our neighbourhood. Residents of our local area Limmel, are invited to join us for dinner every Thursday evening, at the student restaurant Refresh. Students along with our head chef will cater warm meals, refreshments, and socialize with our elderly guests! This project aims to directly influence the social wellbeing of dependents in our community.

Project: Content creator

Do you love making videos and want to see your work featured on HMSM’s social channels? As a content creator, you’ll get the chance to experiment with trends, create engaging reels, and shape the online image of our community.
