Ziele und Inhalte

What does it mean to live in the 21st century in which globalization has become the most determining living condition and an overall systemic force?

How can we help children and young people to understand the significance and influence of global actors, global interactions, and dependences for their individual lives?

In this module, we will initiate the discussion how human-nature relations can be rethought in the twenty-first century with focus on science and geography. We will develop ideas on how to approach human-nature relations in education. The aim is to challenge established thinking patterns and to discuss global issues such as e.g. resources, climate change and biodiversity from alternative perspectives.



The module will focus on …

considering global issues within the personal context and compare them with different perspectives;

explaining how global issues and sustainable development matter in different educational contexts and school subjects;

displaying and discussing the assessment in the final session.


This course must be attended with the courses PLU.MO91.04-GM and PLU.MO91.06-GM.
