After a vocational training as a craftsman, the Abitur and the bachelor’s degree, Mr. Marian Hummel works as a freelance political educator for different institutions of political education (e.g. Landeszentrale für politische Bildung Baden-Württemberg). In particular, he conducts simulation games, but also workshops and discussion events in this framework.

Among other things, he designed and coordinated the pilot project "Kommunale Bildungsangebote" in Unterfranken (2019) for the Bayerische Landeszentrale für politische Bildungsarbeit, develops digital simulation game formats and methods, and is involved in the training of young trainers. In addition, he is involved in the network of simulation games of the state centers for political education. He is interested in social theories and (local) political education and participation. In doing so, he raises the question of how political education can train participation motivation and skills. In the context of his university activities, he is involved in the training of teachers and expert scientists and in the evaluation of civic education formats.
