Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course aims to open up perspectives and innovative formats for students to recognise, understand and classify different dimensions of global change and sustainability in research and practice.
The course should thereby enable students to develop strategies and competences for the independent elaboration of current geographical challenges, to understand controversial positions and to discuss scientific findings and results; as well as to present them and make them accessible to a broad public.
The event will thus be about:
- Strengthening and fostering curiosity, ambition and the desire to participate in shaping;
- To define and elaborate an own "intellectual" project for the coming years, which lies in the thematic field of global change and sustainability;
- To strengthen the so-called 21st Century Skills: creativity, communication skills, collaboration.
The course will be mainly based on interactive formats; students will work out topics and formats independently - individually and in groups - under guidance.
