She embodies the motto “Love Water—Save Lives!” and the guiding principle “We save lives! Every non-swimmer becomes a swimmer—every swimmer becomes a lifeguard!” In her talk, she highlights the importance of volunteer work as a cornerstone of our society, focusing in particular on the role of women.
Her presentation focuses on the question of what personal, professional, and social opportunities volunteering opens up. Andrea Glaubitz highlights the experiences, skills, and networks that can result from volunteering and how these positively impact personal development and social participation. Drawing on her own experiences from her many years of work with the DLRG, she aims to encourage people to take on responsibility, contribute their own potential, and inspire others to volunteer.

Start-up consultingConcerns/Category:
This October, we are offering a virtual lunchtime talk that explores the challenges of starting a business and provides scientifically grounded strategies for managing stress in a healthy way. The event is being held in cooperation with GründungsHUB Ostbayern.
When? Monday, October 12, 2026, 12:15 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Where? Online via Zoom
Who? Students, researchers, staff, and those interested in starting a business at all universities in the East Bavarian Startup HUB, as well as founders who want to consciously strengthen their mental health.
Starting a business means innovation, responsibility, and creative freedom—but it also involves uncertainty, pressure to perform, and high levels of mental strain. How can founders and those interested in starting a business strengthen their mental health without losing sight of their ability to perform?
In this digital lunchtime talk, we’ll take a look at the unique challenges of entrepreneurship and explore scientifically grounded strategies for managing stress in a healthy way. In addition to brief insights on stress, resilience, and self-regulation, you’ll learn simple breathing and mindfulness exercises that can be easily integrated into your daily routine—whether you’re a student, working professional, or entrepreneur.
