Keynotes
Antje Brock, Institut Futur, Freie Universität Berlin:
"The role of emotions and values for good ESD – How to get from push- to pull-motivations?“
Successfully implementing ESD across educational settings is not just a question of whether or not learners deal with questions of sustainable development, but how they do it. Quality aspects become increasingly important such as how to convey a realistic scope of socio-ecological crises, but not to leave the learners demotivated or even hopeless. What could be paths to motivate them and to enable them to contribute to effective SD-solutions? Those as well as other questions such as the role of values in addressing SD will be presented.
Alexander Büssing, Leibniz University Hannover:
"Social Media and climate change“
While temperatures are rising globally and the scientific consensus reaches striking levels, the public still perceives a lot of confusion about the urgency of climate change and possible actions for mitigation. In the last years several studies showed how social media sites emerged as a new venue for information about complex topics such as climate change. The keynote will dive deeper into this new field of research by (1) further defining the current state of climate change and mitigation possibilities, (2) explaining the role of social media for this including phenomena such as fake news and filter bubbles, and (3) propose new approaches for sustainability education to prepare future citizens for living in - and coping with - these new media environments.
Marco Rieckmann, Vechta University:
"Education for Sustainable Development in Teacher Education and School - Transformative and Disruptive Education”
Against the background of global ecological and socio-economic crises and in the context of the SDGs, the relevance of education for sustainable development is outlined. ESD is characterised as transformative and disruptive education with the aim of developing sustainability competences and values. The role of ESD as political education is highlighted. The theoretical considerations are illustrated by practical examples.Workshops Slot 1 - Wednesday
1. Jutta Bedehäsing, University of Wuppertal:
“Extracurricular learning places: potentials for education for sustainable development”Outside the classroom, many places are suitable for students to facilitate the different dimensions of learning according to the UNESCO Roadmap Education for Sustainable Development #ESDfor2030. At out-of-school settings of learning, problems of global change can be made visible, approaches to solutions can be shown, or one's own actions can be tested. In this workshop, I would like to work with you on what extracurricular places of learning can actually be and which didactic methods can be used there to promote education for sustainable development.
2. Celina Czech-Włodarczyk, Daria Hejwosz-Gromkowska & Dobrochna Hildebrandt-Wypych, AMU Poznan:
"Appreciating cultural difference for a sustainable lifestyle"This workshop aims to develop an understanding of cultural difference. The Hofstede’s model will be used as a framework for the workshop. The workshop is divided into three parts:
1) Introduction to cultural difference
2) Case study – describing the cultural difference
3) Students’ presentation.3. Maria Helena Esteves, Universidade de Lisboa, IGOT:
“Active Learning Activities”In this workshop participants will learn how to create activities where students can focus on learning with their peers. Having in mind the framework of Education for Sustainable Development and the theoretical background of Active Learning, participants will focus on creating activities that can be implemented in classroom or other academic/professional contexts. The emphasis will be on introducing the discussion about Sustainable Development through subject content. In the end, participants will create different activities that can be shared among themselves.
4. Susann Gessner & Philipp Klingler, Philipps-University Marburg:
“Putting the Political in Education for Sustainable Development: Addressing Social, Political and Economic Issues in the Classroom”Education for sustainable development encompasses not only ecological, but also political, social and economic, and thus societal issues. But because this is not only the task of the civid educators, all teachers must be empowered to understand and teach the social aspects. During the workshop we will give an insight into the German Orientation Framework Global Learning/Education for Sustainable Development. Besides content-related aspects (what is political?), basic principles of civic education/social science education in the context of education for sustainable development will be briefly presented. Following on, we want to analyze with the participants supposedly non-political topics of education for sustainable development and question them with regard to their political content, as well as expand corresponding educational materials in this regard. We want to work out the potentials for civic and democratic learning in the topics of ESD.
Participants are welcome to bring their own (teaching) topics and materials from their subjects in the context of Education for Sustainable Development.
Workshops Slot 2 - Thursday
1. Rieke Ammoneit, Philipps-University Marburg:
„Digital Modelling in Geography Education“Digital modeling is necessary to map developments in complex systems. Understanding systems is crucial in education for sustainable development because sustainable development depends on complex human-environment systems. In this workshop, we will engage in modeling with tools suitable for school education and explore the potential digital modeling has in understanding sustainability.
2. Marzena Buchnat & Celina Czech-Włodarczyk, AMU Poznan:
„The system of education through movement as a method conducive to the holistic development of a child”The system of education and therapy "Education through movement" (EPR) is a set of techniques and methods of work based on natural, optimal, rhythmic human movement. Moving according to a specific rhythmic procedure, activating the senses, supports the increase in the level of sensory integration to prepare the body and mind for the learning process. The system was built based on many experiments and observations carried out both during school classes and in groups of preschoolers. The main assumption of the EPR system is movement planning as the basis for inducing cognitive activity of the child. During the workshop, the instructor will use specific simple or more complex forms of movement in accordance with the physiology and psychomotor abilities of the learners, basing the fun created in this way on the so-called. the power of measured strokes. Each game of the EPR system is built of many techniques - exercises that fulfil specific functions supporting comprehensive, i.e. holistic development, especially useful when working with children with disabilities.
3. Jelena Mladenovic & Nenad Stevanovic, University of Kragujevac:
“Ecological intelligence and myth-busting about sustainable development”Considering that Sustainable Development is such development that meets the needs of current generations, while at the same time not jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their needs, the question arises as to what is "ecologically justified" or "green" behavior of modern man. How much do our activities affect the environment and do we really know the real impact of our "green" behavior on the environment? We will analyze with the participants of the workshop some of the impacts described in Daniel Goleman's book - Ecological Intelligence: How Knowing the Hidden Impacts of What We Buy Can Change Everything (2009). Also, workshop participants will calculate their ecological footprint - a quantitative measurement describing the appropriation of natural resources by humans - using the footprint calculator.
4. Marija Stanojević Veselinović, Olivera Cekic-Jovanovic & Violeta Jovanović, University of Kragujevac:
“Sustainable development in foreign language teaching”In this short presentation we will present the recent results regarding Sustainability in the Foreign Language Teaching. Considering Sreten Adzic' work Ručni rad u muškoj školi (Handwork in the Boys' School, 1886), which unequivocally goes to the heart of the problems of upbringing and education and whose genius transcends the boundaries of the time of its origin we will introduce the new approach in foreign language teaching. Given the great responsibility of school education today, a step towards improvement should be taken precisely by going back in time and projecting the future from the perspective of the past.
