Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Students will get to know the problems, challenges, and possibilities of global change and sustainability and the role of geographers in addressing them. Potential responses to challenges of global change and sustainability will be explored within self-organized mini-projects by applying specific approaches and working methods (e.g. moderation, process design, project management, and team work) relevant to practical work in this field. The results of the student projects will be presented to a jury by the end of the semester (including moderation methods, assessment approaches for project success/failure, etc.).
