| Description | Based on a short introduction of our inter- and transdisciplinary module “Introduction to Sustainable Development” for all our first-semester students of the bachelor´s degrees, we would like to discuss with the participants what it means to train change agents as a university and how to enable to acquire Future Skills within the student life cycle (SLC). On the basis of the education for sustainable development and the Doughnut Economics, the aim is to work on a study model for an exemplary inter- and transdisciplinary approach. We will also address the challenges of implementing inter- and transdisciplinary teaching formats in higher education. By means of creative methods, solutions are jointly developed and discussed. With the help of the SLC model, the participants can develop and visualize (competency) models and future skills for the different study cohorts/semesters. The group should actively engage in action and exchange and learn from the examples of others. Therefore the Eberswalde study model, which is currently being developed, can serve as a first orientation. |
