Sustainability in teaching

Planning for a "summer school sustainabilty" is progressing

Ein Student und ein wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter aus der Fakultät Raumplanung sowie zwei Mitarbeiter aus dem Nachhaltigkeitsbüro sitzen auf SDG-Würfeln in einer Runde und diskutieren über die Planung einer summer school sustainability.

Motivated by their participation in the sustainability simulation game "Sustain20230" offered by the Sustainability Office, two international students came up with the idea of developing an English-language seminar based on the simulation game. By offering the seminar in English, it could also serve as an interdisciplinary basic module for the studium oecologicum, which can currently only be offered in German. This brings the goal of being able to offer the sustainability certificate in English a big step closer.

Both the group and the idea have grown since the first meeting in August 2023. Four international students from the Faculties of Spatial Planning and Chemistry and Chemical Biology now meet regularly with the Sustainability Office to work on the teaching concept. The preliminary result is a five-day summer school entitled"summer school sustainabiltiy - learning global and local sustainability through collaboration" . The concept was presented to the first lecturers in January 2024 and met with approval. Work is therefore currently underway to ensure that the summer school can be offered in collaboration with the lecturers in summer 2024.

The Summer School will draw on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a blueprint for a better and sustainable future for all, and the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which assess the progress of scientific knowledge on climate change. Participants should learn to set their own perspective in relation to the IPCC and the SDGs and consider how they can implement them in their everyday lives.
