"With an impressive number of interesting lecturers, this course taught me to view the challenges of our society in a more transdisciplinary way. Furthermore, meeting people from different disciplinary backgrounds but with a similar passion and mindset was extremely enriching and probably already reason enough to engage more in courses like this one." Salomé Perret, Student of French Linguistics and Literature, Sustainable Development |

"For me, studying means working for a good future. Now we have to think about how we can shape the future in harmony with nature. Thanks to the study week, for the lots of information from science and practice, for the discussions and the moments of hope for a sustainable economy!" Henrik Remmert, studies educational sciences |
The study week conveys basic as well as the latest knowledge of sustainable development with a focus on understanding, analysis and shaping developments in a democratic society under time pressure. The starting point is to impart basic knowledge on the development and content of the normative guiding principle as well as the resulting implications for science, politics, business and civil society. Current conflicts of objectives of non-sustainable development are dealt with in transdisciplinary co-teaching by science and practice with the students. Concrete questions are dealt with by the students in transdisciplinary case analyses with the aim of applying transformational knowledge.
The following excursions enabled 2023 multi-perspective learning:

Introductions to the fundamentals of sustainable development were complemented by case analyzes in selected subject areas (including sustainable finance, circular economy, climate justice). Solution proposals were developed in collaboration with stakeholders from science and practice.
