Sustainable Development Academy

Programme description: In the Sustainable Development Academy (SDA), participants engage with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (SDGs) in a critical and solution‐oriented way. The goal of the programme is to provide participants with skills that will enable them to develop creative approaches to achieving sustainability goals at a local level. During the entire programme, participants work independently in multidisciplinary teams on a real-life challenge. Various workshop formats and guidance from experts support the approach to this task. Finally, the results of the study groups are presented, reflected and discussed in the plenum. Various field trips round off the programme and give the opportunity to get to know not only the work in practice of different local institutions but also to "lend a hand" yourself. Are you ready to take action? Teaching formats: The summer school aims to encourage interaction and gather insights from both the academic and non‐academic communities through a range of activities. These may include lectures, discussion sessions, expert talks, group work, and accompanying field trips.
