Summary

The management of various different stakeholders is a central task in project management, especially with regard to large-scale projects. In order to teach this competence we designed an extended teaching format that promotes interaction and is mostly built on blended learning ideas. 

The over 100 participants wre were divided into 20 project teams within the framework of the course and dealt with the airport BER.

Every team was responsible for the analysis of a certain stakeholder (various different politial political parties, the media, citizens' action groups, airlines, consulting engineers etc.). The aim was to prove what the influence of the various stakeholders was on the project and its process. The database was made up of the research of the students as well as personal interviews. The project teams reflected their interim results during the plenary meetings within the framework of three milestone sessions. In addition, every project team posted three blog contributions and drew up a scientific poster (see: https://blogs.fu-berlin.de/ber). A student PR team was responsible for the diffusion of the research results via social media channels, press releases and radio interviews. 

The blog as the central tool served firstly to create a joint knowledge basis with regard to BER (1), in addition, it was able to provide the results to a larger public audience (2), at the same time, though, it was meant to ensure that even though the group was so large that a comparative perspective could still be taken (3), and lastly, the blog offers extended intercationinteraction, discussion and reflection possibilities both between the students and also for the interested public as well as project partners.
