Die Veranstaltung ist zugleich anrechenbar für Bereich III des Zertifikats ‚Bildung für Nachhaltige Entwicklung‘ der UDE.
Democratizing Sustainability and strengthening democracy durably
In this course you reflect on how decisions are taken within academia and industry. You learn how to democratize your studies and jobs as well as how to engage in a socio-ecological transformation. You explore ways to design your own private and working life together with others, even if this means entering into conflicts and resolving them together or sometimes bravely enduring them.
The participants expand their understanding of sustainability, especially with regard to social aspects such as power relations as well as society-nature relations and political ecology. The theoretical foundation for this is Critical Theory and theories of radical democracy. The pedagogical foundation of the course lies in the realm of critical pedagogy and pedagogies of democracy. During the course, the participants work on societal challenges from different interdisciplinary and artistic perspectives and engage in corresponding practices. They conduct an intervention research project through which they contribute to a democratization of society and its social-ecological transformation. |
