Lina Nagel, who was born in Berlin in 1990, completed her A-Levels in 2010. Afterwards, she did an apprenticeship as a veterinary assistant. She graduated in 2013 and worked in this field, but after a while a desire for change emerged. Therefore, she worked as a substitute teacher at an elementary school in Spandau in 2018. This has aroused great interest and joy in her. Hence, she decided to begin a teacher training for primary level in the subjects German and science at the University of Potsdam. Since May 2021, she has been working as a research assistant at the Junior Professorship for German Didactics in an Inclusive Context/Focus on Language and Communication for Secondary Level I with Prof. Dr. Giera.

Walid Khaled Badawie, born in Berlin in 1991, graduated from high school in 2011. He then spent a year abroad and worked in his father's law firm. He began his law studies in 2015. While he found working with legal texts and expert opinion style very interesting, he missed the language component. After all, grammar was his favorite subject from the very beginning. And so he also gave tutoring in grammar or text construction / formulation since the 8th grade. This ultimately encouraged him to switch to teaching German & History at the University of Potsdam in 2019. Since 2018, he now works in another office and still tutors across subjects (primary, secondary I and II). In addition, he has been a research assistant at the Junior Professorship for German Didactics in an Inclusive Context since October 2022 and supports students with the content of Prof. Dr. Giera's service-learning program.

Lilly Woltersdorf, born in Magdeburg in 2000, graduated from high school in Saxony-Anhalt in 2018. Subsequently, she began her teacher training studies for secondary levels I/II at the University of Potsdam in October 2018 in the subjects German and Biology. Already during her school days, Lilly noticed that she had a special interest in playing theater and later in her studies in integrating it into German lessons. She therefore wrote her bachelor's thesis with Prof. Dr. Giera on the topic of "Scenic interpretation in literature classes" using Max Frisch's "Andorra" as an example. Lilly spent her first master's semester in Aarhus, Denmark, as part of the Erasmus+ program. There she completed a semester in psychology and learned the Danish language. Since February 2023, Lilly is now working as a research assistant at the Chair of German Didactics in an Inclusive Context and supports Prof. Dr. Giera in her research project III 'Stop Bullying! A theater project'.

Eric Graßnick, born in Berlin in 2002, completed his Abitur in Berlin-Lichtenberg in 2020. Since the winter semester 2020/21, he has been studying to become a teacher at the University of Potsdam for secondary levels I and II in the subjects German and political education. Not least, he decided to study to become a teacher because he particularly enjoys working with young people and the realisation of equal opportunities in the school system is very important to him. Since 2023, he has been working as a research assistant at the Chair for Inclusive German Didactics with Prof. Dr. Giera and supports mainly within the research project V "DAAD Project Service-Learning Offer". In addition, he is currently (as of June 2023) writing his Bachelor's thesis with Mr. Deutzmann and Prof. Dr. Giera within the framework of Research Project I "Fair Debating and Discussing".
